Description
On paper, Rodgers' music might seem like it would add up to folk or alt-country: A band with guitars, a pedal steel, some fiddles here and there. But on listening, you're as likely to pick up on an undercurrent of shoe-gaze, chamber pop, even post-rock on Two Years. The violins oscillate under Rodgers' melodies, more Dirty Three than country. The pedal steel soars. Rodgers' voice, beautiful and world-weary, echoes.
On Two Years, her first album since 2009's Bright Day, Rodgers worked with legendary producer Kramer, who was responsible for the sounds of first-generation shoe-gaze and slow-core innovators like Galaxie 500 and Low. (Kramer mixed and mastered Bright Day, and returned as producer this time around; he also produced two videos from the new album.)
It's fair to look at the album as a product of Rodgers' unconventional writing - she's an English professor, and looks to literary sources for inspiration - and Kramer's sonic genius. Low comes to mind as a reference point; so does Tara Jane O'Neil.
That Two Years is her first recording in nearly seven betrays the fact that Rodgers isn't rushing things. Song by song, she avoids the temptation to try to cram too many words into a phrase; there's a deliberate confidence in her delivery. Rodgers takes her words seriously, and wants you to, too. (And not just her own words - the album closes with a haunting, otherworldly cover of Neil Young's "I Believe In You" that turns the original on its head.) -
