INDESTRUCTIBLE MACHINE
<i>Indestructible Machine</i>, Lydia's Bloodshot debut,combines heady doses of punk rock energy and candor with the country classicism she was raised on and just can't shake. From foggy mountain throwdowns where she sounds like a tuff Neko Case, to muscular power pop driven by choppy, tense guitar tonalities recalling Television's Richard Lloyd to the take no s**t spirit of Loretta Lynn and displaying country soul well beyond her years, Loveless true-to-life testimonials hit and hit hard. Be it whiskey, men, god or alienation, Lydia takes them all on; they may kick, but she kicks back harder.
