Edgewise

On the latest from this New York singer-songwriter, the name of the game is motion. On “Glass Palace,” Draper contemplates leaving a lover and perhaps even passing into the great beyond, while “Right on Time” and “Hollow” find her “running down Bergen Avenue” and racing against the tide of tediousness threatening to overtake her life. With all of these songs—pop-rock sparklers informed by the kind of edgy country and clever folk beloved by NPR subscribers—movement carries risk, but it beats staying put. Or worse yet, dying, like the old friend Draper eulogizes on “In Good Hands.” “It won’t be long now until they find a place to hold you,” she sings, intent on escaping that fate.
