There is an intimacy to Lydia Luce’s third and latest LP, Mammoth, that feels almost invasive.
Across a dozen ethereal tracks, she touches on pain and relationships, eventual acceptance, and ultimately to contentment, all delivered over a lush soundtrack. Luce gets right into it with the opening title track — a slow-tempo, remarkably beautiful song about healing and self-discovery, punctuated by sweeping strings. Her vocals are delivered with an almost breathy and unhurried calmness that has you waiting for the next line.
The strings make sense here as Mammoth was produced with her longtime creative collaborator Jordan Lehning, who along with Luce (a session violinist) runs the Nashville-based string collective Lockeland Strings.
