8.0 / 10

Nashville singer/songwriter Lydia Luce’s sophomore album, Dark River, was born from a time of particular pain and growth. Inspired by a painful 2019 breakup, a mountain sojourn, and a near-death experience in 2020’s Nashville tornado, the record serves as a document of and a monument to the trials of her recent years. The resulting record is one of uncommon vulnerability, invigorating beauty, and expansive diversity.
