![]() Suzzy Roche and Lucy Wainwright Roche (from the album I Can Still Hear You available on StorySound Records) (by Bryant Liggett) The latest from the mother-daughter duo of Suzzy Roche and Lucy Wainwright Roche comes delivered with a hush and a whisper. File I Can Still Hear You under Folk with a soft dreaminess where floating, airy harmonies drift along with the instrumentation, giving the record an air of a easy lullaby. Personal loss, Covid-19, and turbulent political times may be surrounding, influential factors in most dens of creativity but they didn’t derail these musicians from making something easy-going and life-affirming. Title track “I Can Still Hear You” is a sentimental opener of remembrance, the guitar solo brushed with a light coat of reverb, a texture that lays on light touches of reverb throughout the rest of the record. “Ruins” is stunning when beautiful harmonies innocently ask ‘why’s a human heart so mean to do the things like we do’ before admitting ‘I don’t wanna ruin anything’. Playful vocals define “Talking Like You (Two Tall Mountains)”, “Swan (Duck) Song” is a soft tune of change, and “Little”, with its opening line of ‘try for a day, being a mouse, go get lost in the family house’ encourages a lofty imagination. Soft and playful melodies, imaginative lyrics make I Can Still Hear You a kids-of-all-ages record, tossing in Joe Raposo’s/Kermit the Frogs “Bein’ Green” is the perfect way to exit.
