Lily McKown - Backseat Driver (2020)

Lily McKown's name is little known in our regions, but we bet it won't be in a few months. Coming straight from Philadelphia, the singer-songwriter had released a first EP called Sea of ​​Junk released in March 2019 but enough to reveal her endearing universe. In this month of August, she returns with a first long-format film called Backseat Driver.

Here, Lily McKown will confide in her audience about her difficult daily life and her social circle which plays tricks on her. And it is with indie folk / alt-country ballads such as the introductory title track but also "Circle of Misery" and "B-Team" that we are dealing with arrangements signed by Molly Germer who worked with 'Alex G and Frances Quinlan. The interpretation of the native of Philadelphia will give us a lot of thrills on "Virginia Lovers" and on "People Pass Like Cars".

Backseat Driver is a skilful and sincere first work where Lily McKown opens up to us on "Metal In The Outlet" and "Fingerprint Covered Mirror". The musician does not hesitate to invite American Trappist for an exceptional duet on "Ghost Town" before going it alone on the sumptuous closing ballad called "Flowers in Texas" showing that Lily McKown has a bright future ahead of her.
