Alejandra O’leary’s latest album, All I Know carries
on the raw indie-pop tradition O’Leary
is known for. Performed and produced by O’Leary, bassist Thom Canova and drummer Mark Simonsen, this eleven track break-up album keeps the music interesting with swirly
melodies and heady lyrics.
The topic of frail and
failing relationships is the forefront of the opener “Doubtless”, an emo love
song whose tension slowly builds until peaking in a furious psychedelic frenzy. O’Leary’s clever and hardnosed lyrics are
nicely set to an edgy and haunting melody in “I Only Came Here For Your Body”. I love the way “Trace/Color/Light” beautifully
dances in a cosmic cloud of psychedelia too. It’s very nice indeed.
Alejandra O’Leary is a true poet and artist whose music continues to move forward. She
definitely proves that in All I Know.
