Chaotic Good (CD)
Johanna Warren
Amoeba Review
With Chaotic Good, Johanna Warren transitions away from the folk-ish sound that defined her early solo albums. This is a bold statement piece demonstrating the breadth of her ambition. Warren alternates between crushingly honest declarations over sparse piano and heavy affirmations of independence that have more in common with ‘90s grunge than anything we’ve ever heard from her. More than stylistic flexing, this range of sounds and emotions demonstrates that there’s more to Warren than meets the eye.
