The Lady Racers, Here and Now

Regret, recrimination, retribution–the three R’s of relationships, it would seem, if you are a Lady Racer. This thoughtful trio of young women seems to have experienced much disappointment early on and have poured their feelings into ten bittersweet tracks which surprise with their direct honesty and tight-knit harmonies. No unpleasant topic is left unexplored, from intentionally undermining a partner’s self-confidence (The Sailor Song) to the insecurity and jealousy involved in the start of a new relationship (More and More) to infidelity (I Insist), all buoyed by deft musicianship. Music for making the bed all by yourself. (Karyn Bonham)
