In this indie album, songstress Jill Koch shows off a whimsical voice that is capable of expressing both pain and hope from its midst. She’s got a sound made for the coffeehouse or bar, a bucket of authenticity, and a knack for the turn of a phrase.

For this reviewer, the standout track is ‘Most High’, though it echoes other pieces where Koch’s textured appropriation of biblical material produces an admirable result.

One imagines this solo voice augmented by good harmony. That’d be a beautiful sound.

This one is just promising.
