Not only is Real House potentially an inauspicious start to the Lenker album it almost had the effect of confirming my suspicion of her being one of the numerous vocalists who sound so bored and enervated with their own songs that you wonder why they expect anyone else to listen to them. The rest of the album convinced me that I was wrong and she’s a major talent. I haven’t enjoy Big Thief previously but I should have another listen on the basis of how good this is. The only other one here I’ve heard is the Waxahatchee which I like though I prefer Saint Cloud which was one of my favourite albums a couple of years ago.
