Heartmind (LP)
Cass McCombs
Amoeba Review
Cass McCombs’ Heartmind is a warm, intimate album that displays some of his best lyrical storytelling yet. These are the types of songs that sneak up on you and haunt the mind long after the last note has rung out; although the melodies are seemingly easy-going and gentle, the lyrics have teeth, and when combined, these folk-tinged numbers pack a punch. “Unproud Warrior” chronicles a veteran’s return from war and the emotions he grapples with as he tries to make sense of his own actions and how they fit into great societal narratives. “Karaoke” is a clever, moving look at whether a connection is real or just the facsimile of a connection. Heartmind is a slow burner with great emotional depth and lovely melodies.
