Shannon Wright has never been one to court recognition over her ten-year solo career. Her shows in the UK are few and far between, her lyrics often impenetrably personal and her guitar-playing, while captivating, can be harsh and challenging. Yet 2008’s Let In The Light was a self-referentially optimistic antidote to a slew of delightfully miserablist albums. And so it seems that the bad blood surrounding her disbanding of indie-pop band Crowsdell never really left her wanting to escape her past, as latest album Honeybee Girls samples a little of everything from it.
The album’s opening track ‘Tall Countryside’ is a dreamily autumnal piece; the guitar picking is lulling and gentle, the slow drumbeat a soothing accompaniment to an introspective piano track. It’s a great ode to Let In The Light’s showcase of Wright’s sizeable talent for sweet melodies and unusual composition. Dizzying, then, is the introduction of following track ‘Trumpets On New Year’s Eve’, a jangly, queasy hootenanny of a song. With the more aggressive, staccato guitar, the listener is thrust into territory not trod since Crowsdell’s brand of off-kilter pop. Wright’s voice here – as is true of the whole album – has the same earnest magic as always; she warbles and croons each word to perfection, and her lyrics, while not quite retaining the density evidenced in earlier works are still murky and private. “I stand in the crowd / with my silver-tin crown,” she sings, playfully referencing her early single ‘Tin Crown For The Social Bash’, reminding listeners that she’s still the same troubled outsider. It’s a fantastically nostalgic trip, but is perhaps a little too familiar.
