Laura Stevenson and the Cans- Sit Resist
On the diverse yet largely chick-punk Don Giovanni record label, Laura Stevenson and the Cans manage to feel like outliers: they don’t have the vitriol of the Screaming Females, or the minimalism of Big Eyes nor do they possess the hyperliterate sensibilities of The Measure [SA]. But what the titular Ms. Stevenson does have is a voice so organic and effortless, simultaneously downcast and alluring, that only the most hardhearted of listeners can elude her charms. Instrumentally lush but not overly inventive, Sit Resist has the warmth and lilting qualities of a respectable and befitting early summer release.
