Album Reviews
This aesthetic journey has alienated longtime fans missing the concise, angry Ani while attracting newbies charmed by her chops. Evolve speaks to both camps with a succinct summation of her experimental side, here focused and more refined. "Second Intermission" adds deftly arranged, harmonically complex woodwinds, and the feisty title track simplifies, heading back to DiFranco's free-spirited, nearly scatting cry and tense guitar. More inviting melodies could help this mellowed firebrand evolve even further.
