    Laura Marling and Mike Lindsey have teamed up to release an experimental indie-pop album that is the highlight of both artists' careers. Collaboration is all about cohesion and chemistry. This release is extremely intimate and personal, such we expect from Laura, but now she is complimented with serene and intricate production, via Mike, which works immensely well together.

    If LUMP is a commentary on the commodification of art and the self, then its final minutes suggest the duality of music as a commodity.

    A side project should be challenging and unusual; it should stretch the boundaries of the artists involved. Since that is what this characterful, strong, self-contained album does, you really have to like it or lump it.

    “Late to the Flight” is also indicative of Marling’s range on this album: She hits contralto notes on “Shake Your Shelter” and enters soprano territory for multi-tracked harmonies on “Hand Hold Hero.” The instrumentation, almost entirely performed by Mike Lindsay, is more varied than any Marling record to date.
