Karen Jonas - The Restless

Americana literary songsmith Karen Jonas's sixth LP, The Restless is a dark alt-country exploration of vulnerability. Each song is a confession that lands somewhere between nostalgia and doom. This mix of playful longing and earnest heartbreak crescendos into B-side opener Rock the Boat, which leaves Jonas prepared to walk straight into a river. The Restless is a visceral experience: you can feel the lace and velvet and taste the bite of bourbon on your lover's tongue.
