Album Review: Tomberlin - i don't know who needs to hear this...

“i don’t know who needs to hear this…, Tomberlin’s second record, re-plants the songwriter in the east coast metropolis and shorn of her spiritual beliefs, but she’s still orbiting the same questions of place, identity and worth. Just like her debut, i don’t know who needs to hear this… finds her writing with such story-like clarity and honesty that it sometimes feels like she’s writing about herself as the protagonist in her work, rather than herself and her actual life. This only makes her music all the more personable and approachable, and gives it a warmth of a private conversation shared between singer and listener.”

The new Tomberlin record is a god damn triumph. Read all about its joyousness in my full review here.
