    A non-stop energetic push of cute lessons about moving on and accepting what one has become after though times. With no song that falls flat, Alex Lahey has achieved to overcome herself with a very nice and strong pop-rock proposal. Do give her a try, it is worth the quick rush.

    The result is a fun collection of melodically versatile songs which celebrate the power that can be found in dwelling on the fringes.

    Some listeners may miss the rawer sounds and leanings of her debut and the instrumental adventurousness of her second album, as Lahey wends her way through a less incendiary and more restrained sequence. Still, she employs volume dynamics skillfully, her melodies are consistently enrolling, and her lyrics, at once colourful patter, empathetic pep-talk, and a vehicle for catharsis, are aptly accessible.

    Sometimes the writing on The Answer Is Always Yes is more generic than you’d expect from Lahey. .... But Lahey’s gift for imagery shines on songs like the hazy acoustic trip “The Sky Is Melting,” a rowdy story of misadventure: She spars with a deadbeat pal while high on melted weed gummies, trading conspiracy theories and belting out corny yacht rock before vomiting into a ravine.
