Lycia vocalist Tara Vanflower makes her solo debut with This Womb Like Liquid Honey. A departure from her ethereal work in Lycia, this album focuses on Vanflower’s darker musical side instead and features edgy, mercurial vocals and equally unpredictable accompaniment. A dreamlike, hazy surrealism envelops songs like “Opal Star,” “Bugbear” and “Zygote the Nothing” as they catalog Vanflower’s many vocal and musical moods, which embrace sweetness, seductiveness and madness. – Heather Phares
