INDESTRUCTIBLE MACHINE

Indestructible Machine, 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.
