Sometimes it’s the music, which is steeped in country-rock and blues, with flickers of indie-rock desolation; sometimes it’s her voice, which is sure and conspiratorial, bendy and grounded. Most often, though, it’s her words, which come together in surprising patterns, a blend of old-timey formalism and magical storytelling. “A lot of my lyrics are inspired by conversation — they’ll say one thing that sticks out to me, and I get inspired,” Ms. Garcia said, discussing her debut album, “Medi- cine for Birds,” over the phone from her new apartment in Richmond, Va. She uses those moments to enrich her stories about fleeing the nest, shedding expectations and, sometimes, about burning any con- nection between the then and the now. Literally, in the case of “Bridge on Fire”: “Baby, like a moth enamored with the light/watched it beam by beam ignite!/Praying with an exhilarating fright that a gale would double up its size.” On the bracing “Loretta Lynn,” she stews over the ways relationships are prisons: “They told us we were their heiresses/a trick to con- jure submissiveness/so we’d be lame, but great in appearances.” “Medicine for Birds,” due on Sept. 30 from Warner Bros., is a lovely, intense album that’s deliciously unfaithful to the roots and country music that inspired it. Ms. Garcia discovered those sounds at a young age, thanks to her stepfather, a longtime music executive. (He worked in management and A&R for acts including Dwight Yoakam and Los Lobos.) “My mom taught me how to sing,” she said. “My stepdad taught me what to listen to.” Ms. Garcia, 22, was raised mostly on the eastern side of Los Angeles, where her mother, aunt and uncle all sang mariachi. After high school, she moved with her family to tiny Accomac, Va., on the state’s Eastern Shore, when her stepfather, who’d left the music business to become an Episcopal priest, took over a congregation. The move was “a healing process,” Ms. Garcia said; her senior year of high school was stressful, as both her mother and stepfather struggled with their health. The town was quiet and had almost no people her age. Instead, there were stunning landscapes and cem- eteries — inspiration for writing was everywhere. She recorded the “Medicine for Birds” demos in the parish house, using GarageBand, a handful of instruments and a shoe box for a drum. (She tapped a pen on various objects until she found one that approximated a cymbal.) Last year, she brought the recordings to Nashville to work with the producer Charlie Peacock (the Civil Wars, Switchfoot), who helped build the songs into dynamic shapes that looked different depending on your angle — faithful, sturdy, reticent, heretical. But even as the music pulls Ms. Garcia in wildly different directions, there’s nothing more exciting to her than what she’s saying: “I geek out over words.”” - New York Times, September 14 2016 2/15 Louisville, KY 3/7 Charlottesville, VA 4/8 San Francisco, CA Don’t miss your 2/16 Davenport, IA 3/8 Roanoke, VA 4/9 Eugene, OR 2/17 Chicago, IL 3/9 Charlotte, NC 4/12 Bend, OR chance to see 2/18 Spring Lake, MI 3/10 Columbia, SC 4/13 Astoria, OR 2/19 Newark, OH 3/11 Savannah, GA 4/14 Portland, OR River Whyless 2/22 Washington, DC 3/12 Atlanta, GA 4/15 Seattle, WA 2/23 Philadelphia, PA 3/14-18 SXSW 4/16 Walla Walla, WA 2/24 New York, NY 3/30 Greenwood, SC 4/18 Salt Lake City, UT 2/25 Fairfield, CT 3/31 Mobile, AL 4/19 Denver, CO 2/26 Burlington, VT 4/1 New Orleans, LA 4/21 Dallas, TX 2/28 Boston, MA 4/2 Houston, TX 4/23 Driftwood, TX 3/2 Portsmouth, NH 4/5 Phoenix, AZ 6/8-11 Bonnaroo 3/3 Providence, RI 4/6 San Diego, CA 6/17 Mountain Jam 3/4 Northampton, MA 4/7 Los Angeles, CA 8/24-25 Fayetteville, AR Consequence of Sound digs into the new SUSTO album ““I had a dream that we were doing hard drugs in a street alley” is a hell of a line to kick off a song, and seems emblematic of your typical rock and roll band. But SUSTO are far from the typical. The Charleston five-piece covers vast sonic ground on their new album & I’m Fine Today, swaying between country-tinged rock (“Cosmic Cowboy”), contemplative pop ballads (“Mountain Top”), and any number of other genres that exist somewhere within the expansive fabric of Southern music. But lead single “Hard Drugs” is perhaps most typical of their nakedly honest, narrative approach to songwriting, covering themes of heartbreak and loneliness with an added dose of creative flair. “& I’m Fine Today is our most earnest effort to create unique emotional soundscapes while speaking candidly and openly about the realities of existence,” the band tells Consequence of Sound. “We are a group of people, touring musicians, who feel privileged to do what we do and we have given all of our energy to create an album that captures both the pain and beauty of being human.” It can seem like a pretty hopeless world out there sometimes, but this is the kind of music that just hits in the right way on those long, dark nights of the soul. Hell, it might even make you laugh when you’re done moppin’ up those tears.” - Consequence Of Sound, 1/6/17 RIGHT ARM RESOURCE WEEKLY UPDATE - 2/1/2017
