Review of Independence Meal

From out of a muted hush of intense, foreshadowing tones stems Alix Olsonís take on the world, ranging all over her proverbial plot of emotions from happy to deflated, inspired to crestfallen.. this openly-lesbian poet has separated (her) live work from what she intends to accomplish in her recorded media, and in so doing has created a product saturated with a laid-back timbre and well-placed voice samples, everything hitting the precise points on which she has intended. Her backup band plays a huge part in this, holding back just enough to let her get everything across but embellishing the picture in such a way as to not let it appear blank.
