| Songbook is Mia's second album of covers, all songs in English, in |
| contrast to 2014's gorgeous Floresta, a set of Brazilian tunes cut on |
| location. This offering finds her on more familiar linguistic terrain |
| and pays homage to early and contemporary inspirations. The album was |
| recorded and mixed by Todd and husband/multi-instrumentalist Jesse |
| Peterson, with engineering and keyboard assistance from Money Mark. |
| Other ensemble members include drummer/percussionists John Herndon |
| (Tortoise) and Alberto Lopez (Jungle Fire, Quetzal), longtime bassist |
| Gabe Noel, and Sam Gendel on saxophone. |
| |
| The album opens with a cover of Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break |
| Your Heart." Synth strings add a nice textural touch as the meld of |
| strummed acoustic and wah-wah electric guitars seamlessly blends |
| neo-psych and Caribbean sounds. There's a lilting read of the Cure's |
| "Close to Me" with a muted alto saxophone solo hovering above |
| fingerpicked electric guitars, xylophone, and Money Mark's shimmering |
| keys. The dubby, rocksteady take on Sandy Denny's "Who Knows Where |
| the Time Goes" is excellent. |
| |
| Todd allows her tender, emotionally resonant vocal to be carried by |
| the music. Her version of Elliott Smith's "Between the Bars" reveals |
| its roots in early-'60s rock and doo wop balladry. The slippery |
| lounge jazz read of Ned Doheny's "A Love of Your Own" adds sultry, |
| slinky electric piano and saxophone work to frame Todd's vocal, |
| making it a set highlight. |
