Led To the Sea is the forthcoming EP from Brooklyn singer/songwriter Jenny Owen Youngs.The centrepiece of the EP (out April 7th), is the title track "Led To the Sea". Combining pop, rock, and indie elements, "Led To the Sea" boasts a massive hook. Contrast this with lyrics and themes that can't be described as uplifting, and Youngs builds a suped-up Fiona Apple vibe for her work.
"Clean Break" is a erected with the intention of giving a hillbilly stomp feel, while not forcing the listener to get down and dirty. "Nighty Night" is a more pensive track, with an ornate arrangement.
The "Funny Energy" remix of "Led To the Sea" is really a dance-ish remix which becomes grating very quickly. It does however, do the best job of showcasing Youngs' phenominal voice.
Led To the Sea is a teaser from Youngs, and as such it does a solid job of leaving you wanting more...so it's convenient that her album, Transmitter Failure, comes out May 26th.
