Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Lizzie No has said that the artist’s role is to expand their audiences’ awareness by exploring the musician’s private consciousness. The songs on her most recent release, Halfsies, do just that. The 11 tracks offer creative personal investigations into Lizzie No’s world. There are allusions to past lovers, the history of crimes committed and uncommitted, the search for community, and other existential matters. Despite her last name, she says “Yes”. The musician remains optimistic without ignoring life’s obstacles. We may always run without knowing where we are headed, but we are presumably moving forward. Like a drunkard finding their way home, one may not be able to predict the route but is confident about reaching the goal.As the title song suggests, part of Lizzie No’s positivity comes from involving others—doing “Halfsies”, as the children’s game of that name suggests. No sings about friends, including those she never had, asteroids in space, Paul Simon, a snake in the grass, and other such signs and omens over a rapidly brushed percussive beat as she contemplates death and excuses. She plays lead acoustic guitar and is joined by clarinet and background vocals on the title tune by Allison Russell and others on mellotron, celeste cello, violin, viola, pedal steel, and bass. The mix of popular and classical instruments lends a quiet sincerity to the effort. The music suggests forward progress.
