The second solo album from ex-Azure Ray frontwoman and Bright Eyes buddy Taylor offers thoughtful, pretty singer-songwriter fare with spare, delicate backup and dashes of Seventies navel-gazing. It'd be nice if Taylor went easier on the introspection. But she makes up for it with "Replay" and the Rilo Kiley-ish "Ballad of Sean Foley." - Christian Hoard
