America For Sale

Durch die USA von West nach Ost
Einmal von Los Angeles bis nach New York – ganz allein bewältigt Joey Kelly in weniger als drei Wochen ein unglaubliches Abenteuer durch siebzehn Bundesstaaten der USA. Er kehrt zurück in das Land seiner Vorfahren: Ohne eigenes Geld und Essen durchquert er die Vereinigten Staaten, übernachtet wird nur im Freien…

A personal, idiosyncratic history of popular music that also may well be definitive, from the revered music critic!

Lola Kirke stands out like a flash of neon magenta in this nostalgic landscape of Americana tin-types. While many of her singing, songwriting peers look further back for inspiration, Kirke’s sweet spot is decidedly in the excess of the 80’s. Anyone only familiar with Kirke through her on-screen performances (Mistress America, Gone Girl, or Mozart in the Jungle) may be surprised by just how dazzling Lola-playing-Lola can be. Just a few lines into “Better than Any Drug,“ it’s clear no written role could reveal more of Kirke’s wit, lust for life, and sense of humor than this record captures with the help of producer Austin Jenkins (White Denim, Leon Bridges).
