At eight tracks, the sixth album from Mel Parsons is a tight, fat-free collection of her trademark alt-country and indie folk, featuring some of her best songwriting to date (see: relationship-in-peril opener “Circling the City” and the winsome “Little Sadness”).
All the references to bruises, calluses and scars imply Parsons has seen some tragedy, but Sabotage is pure triumph.
