Jessica Lea Mayfield: With Blasphemy, So Heartfelt (Polymer Sounds)

Jessica Lea Mayfield: With Blasphemy, So Heartfelt (Polymer Sounds) –

The debut from Kent, Ohio folk-rock songstress Jessica Lea Mayfield is filled haunting songs delivered with and equally aching and sultry voice.  She manages to be dark and moody in the best of ways.  Dan Auerbach (Black Keys) provides support, and some harmonies by Dr. Dog's Scott McMicken and Frank McElroy are featured on track 5.  Love sure isn’t easy.  RIYL Edith Frost, Jolie Holland.  Recommended.
