User Album Review
While Girlpool haven’t drifted from their characteristic vocal layering and bitter-sweet harmonising, Powerplant sees Tividad and bandmate Cleo Tucker give fresh adiposity to their sparse sonic stylings with a full band sound and fuzzy guitars. While on Before the World Was Big the pair used the bare bones of their vulnerability – the negative space between their vocal, between the notes they delicately play and the rest of the world – to convey as much as the musicality itself, Powerplant leaves no spaces to fill.
Indeed, though Tividad and Tucker’s voices remain foregrounded, and the heartbeat of these 12 songs, it seems now that the fullness of their instrumentation serves to reinforce the fullness of their sentiments, as opposed to highlighting the depth of their exposure. Ardently absorb all that there is to feel in this LP, and expect its lullaby-like melodies to draw from you that which is so deeply buried you don’t even know it exists. --- theskinny.co.uk
