     Kristin HershÆs third solo album Sky Motel finds her picking up the
     electric guitar again for a collection of mature, mercurial,
     parallel-dimension pop. The album fuses the restraint of her acoustic work
     with the lush textures of Throwing MusesÆ later albums, adding Latin
     percussion and keyboards for a further update on HershÆs signature sound.

     A subtle and layered album, Sky MotelÆs pop songs create the most
     immediately arresting moments. The album opener ôEchoö pairs a jazzy
     electric piano with HershÆs sweetly abrasive harmonies, then explodes into
     a riot of spiky guitars as she snarls lyrics like ôIÆm loving everybody/
     IÆm hating everyone I see.ö ôFogö and ôA Cleaner Lightö mine similar
     territory, delivering the kind of angular, bouncy yet slightly menacing
     guitar pop that made Muses albums like The Real Ramona and University
     college rock favorites. Though the gentler songs on Sky Motel take more
     time to reveal their charms, songs like ôWhite Trash Moon,ö ôCosta Rica,ö
     ôCaffeine,ö and ôHusk,ö with their undulating guitars and quietly
     compelling vocals, make the album increasingly rewarding with each listen.
