(2016) Melody Pool - Deep Dark Savage Heart

Review:
Confessional and emotional songwriting often falls into the trap of the overwrought, yet Melody Pool always seems to have the musical intuition to avoid that pitfall. Following on from 2013’s The Hurting Scene, Pool takes affairs of the heart and malaise of the mind and cuts them wide open with an unflinching and honest approach. Her musical palette has been expanded to take in soulful blues, electronic moods and a greater textural depth compared to her earlier, folkier recordings. Pool’s voice portrays righteous anger, vulnerability and sweet melancholy with a rich and sultry glow that pulls the listener right into the centre of both the pain and victories of her songs.
The album’s arrangements, a collaboration with Nashville producer Brad Jones, who also worked on Pool’s debut, are suitably atmospheric, entwining slinking drums and ghostly stabs and swirls of cello and violin with the singer’s own skilful guitar parts. The more buoyant pop tracks employ synth flourishes, always thoughtful and never overblown.

Pool’s major achievement on her 12-track sophomore album is that each song is individually arresting – it’s something of a masterclass. Pool’s parents could not have bestowed upon their daughter a more accurate first name. The folk artist has a natural gift for melody. Evident, too, is her decade-plus of live experience alongside father and country singer Alby. The prodigal daughter is not a 25-year-old novice who is technically coming of age, still discovering the power and nuances of her voice.
