Fat Possum Records

Courtney Marie Andrews adds to her impressive run of albums with Loose Future. As always, the songs are filled with people and situations that we can see ourselves in. Andrews continues her musical eclecticism, fusing rootsy lyricism and melodies with more cosmic sounds.
The unflinching introspection, growing pains and aching loneliness that pervaded her previous albums so beautifully are still here, but front and centre is the determination to stay grounded in the here and now. Nowhere is this clearer than on album standout These Are The Good Old Days, which turns away from rose-tinted nostalgia to make the most of the present moment. Best of all, Andrews’ voice that conveys so much feeling, resonates with palpable joy.
