“Reach” and “Sugarcoat” do due diligence by bringing the listener in. They say come here and sit a spell, I’ve got a couple tunes for you. I want to share them. Let’s be friends. Because like old and new friends, there’s something familiar about these songs. In fact, the whole album plays at that déjà vu kind of delight. There is certainly nothing earth shattering going on with these tracks. Just solid songs with solid production and solid professional players doing their thing. And THAT’s what makes the constituent parts coalesce into 33 minutes of head nodding joy. Liz sings: “It goes on like small talk in the bathroom line / no need to sugarcoat what people can’t deny.”
