After the heartbreak heavy ‘Old Flowers’ the Arizona alt-country star Courtney Marie Andrews returns with an album that sees her turning her face to the sun. This is a decidedly more upbeat affair and filled with a renewed sense of romance and freedom. Featuring guest appearances from Chris Bear (Grizzy Bear) and Josh Kaufman (Bonnie Light Horseman) this is a release that fans of Joni Mitchell and Phoebe Bridgers should go a bundle for. I did. JL

Released 7 October on Fat Possum
