└────────┘
A folk-influenced songwriter from Kent, Ohio, Jessica Lea Mayfield began
performing with her family's bluegrass band, One Way Rider, at the age of
eight. She started writing her own music three years later, often
accompanying her older brother at open-mike performances in the Ohio area
before landing a weekly solo gig at a local bar. At 15 years old, Mayfield
took to her brother's bedroom to record a batch of her own acoustic songs,
which ran the gamut from raw, aggressive folk tunes to world-weary country
ballads. The recordings made up the track list of "White Lies", her
independent debut, which she released under the name Chittlin'.
Mayfield's fourth solo LP, "Sorry Is Gone", continues a career
push-and-pull between soft-spoken country-rock and more assertive,
riff-fueled indie rock. While her debut featured more of the former and her
third solo album, 2014's "Make My Head Sing", embraced the latter, on
"Sorry Is Gone" she takes her foot off the gas just a little and finds a
zone where heartache and empowerment both sit comfortably. Of note, the
album was written during Mayfield's separation from her husband and prior
music collaborator, Jesse Newport.
After recording two albums with the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach and "Make My
Head Sing" with Newport, she headed to the studio with a producer who has a
knack for finding this type of raw sweet spot, John Agnello (Sonic Youth,
The Hold Steady). Combined with fuzz and twang, dreamy echo, and an
unrestrained drawl, Mayfield's often woebegone delivery is also sharpened
by candid, occasionally snide lyrics: 'Any tips on how to feel more
human/Or how to un-dehumanize someone/I'm only asking for a friend'.
Those are the opening words to the album's lone acoustic ballad, "Safe 2
Connect 2". It falls midway through a track list of an urgent borderline
dream pop invigorated by guest musicians including Sonic Youth drummer
Steve Shelley and Grails bassist Emil Amos. A track like "Bum Me Out" leans
more into post-punk and grunge, while "Soaked Through" diverges into
shoegaze, but whether spare or raucous, they're all tied together by an
emphatic reverb, the songwriter's conversational melodies, and sonic and
lyrical grit. Without wishing her the same kind of personal inspiration in
the future, it's Mayfield's most compelling work yet.
