Empires rise and fall every day in the human heart, and riding these cycles––stories with no beginning or end, only transformation––churns us through the reckless, ridiculous, rueful, redemptive.
A founding member of Lake Street Dive and writer of some of their most enduring songs, Iowa-born and Brooklyn-based Bridget Kearney is known for writing smart, unexpected lyrics and melodies built for a heart-baring dance or an introspective drive. On her new album Comeback Kid, produced by Dan Molad (Lucius, Buck Meek), there are reminders to cherish the moments that make up the collage of what we see in the mirror, but to also plant our feet firmly in the present, for those are the times that will come to form the future.
The tracks hop through time, from the relentless, obsessive romanticization of the past, to unrestrained lust for a different future, all inherit the spirit of resilience needed for any move forward, whether it’s to dive back in, walk away, or wrestle with the memory itself.
Comeback Kid is soaked in vintage synths, Kearney’s soughing vocals and delicate-yet-driving percussion that ushers in a bright and serene tenor. Moments are carried with care throughout Comeback Kid, but with an eye on the farcicality of simply existing. Kearney is both sincere and silly, somber yet spirited, expertly gathering the iridescent spectrum of what it means to be alive.
