Wow, just listened to the first two tracks from The Returner, what a talented artist. Thank you very much for the recommendation - I'll be picking (at least) this one up on vinyl.
I found my new reference album
If you haven’t heard of Allison Russel you can be forgiven. She has only become known in the last year. Her most recent album is called The Returner. The album’s production value is astonishing and her music is beautiful. The instrumentation and vocals, heard on great equipment, will blow you away. Just FYI.
