Praise for Indestructible Machine


The 20-year-old Loveless manages to conjure up both Exene and Neko Case on this fiery track from her upcoming “Indestructible Machine.”  Washington Post

Included in Paste Magazine’s Best of What’s Next 2011 feature

 

This is one of those brakes-off country records you wish more people would have the guts to make. Raised in farmbelt Ohio, 21-year-old Loveless is a hillbilly punk with a honky-tonk heart, her lusty voice bossing the divide between Loretta Lynn and Neko Case. –Uncut, 4 Stars

 

Given 8 / 10 rating in SPIN Magazine: “Screeching guitar and car-chase banjo open the remarkable Bloodshot debut from this 21-year-old Ohio hellion. That pairing of punk force and country grit is nothing new, but Lydia Loveless makes it her own through the strength of a blazing voice, a fully formed persona, and bluntly crafty songwriting.”

 

Indestructible Machine heralds the arrival of a great new musical voice. - Twangville

 

In a word: Exceptional – The Aquarian Weekly

 

About the song “Jesus Was a Wino”: “The song is a pure cowpunk stomper, all jangly guitars and fast-tempo odes to the glory of drunkenness, like something Hank Williams III might have sang – if his voice sounded more like Neko Case’s than his granddaddy’s.” –MTV the Hive

 

Mainstream country needs to embrace artists such as Loveless who are delivering a dose of reality to a scene dominated by Idol starlets and dime store cowboys. – Innocent Words

 

Greg Kot (Chicago Tribune/Sound Opinions) Tweeted about Lydia: “Bloodshot has a corker of an album on the way by 21-year-old Ohio singer Lydia Loveless. Country + punk -- yeah, that still works.”

 

The Washington Post blog posted her first MP3 single with the following description: Loveless manages to conjure up both Exene and Neko Case on this fiery track from her upcoming “Indestructible Machine.”

 

Indestructible Machine is one great devil of a record, effortlessly meshing country sensibilities with punk attitude. Ms. Loveless might be the love child of Charles Bukowski and Lucinda Williams; a couple listens and you’ll be ripe for a stay in rehab. – My Old Kentucky Blog

 

A young country singer with a bold voice, Ohio’s Lydia Loveless channels the spirit of Patsy Cline in vintage tunes like ‘Back on the Bottle’ and ‘The Only Man’ … She’s cited Charles Bukowski and Britney Spears as influences. – San Diego City Beat

Country music needs someone like Lydia Loveless: a hard-charging country girl that’s as apt to play a Dead Boys cover as she is to play a George Jones cover… There are no punches pulled on this record—Lydia blasts through each track with enchanting, powerful vocals, and a versatile backing band that hits hard as hell one minute, and soothes just as softly the next. – Slug Magazine

a headstrong 21-year-old from rural Ohio who packs a wallop wherever she goes. Easy on the eyes and effortless behind the microphone, she stands to be the greatest thing for the genre since Uncle Tupelo . . . Make no mistake, Indestructible Machine is the sound of promise, the sound of hope and ultimately the sound of something truly special unfolding. Absolute Punk

Ms. Loveless has crafted an energetic record that rocks, swings, and rumbles. With a powerful voice that soars, and a songwriting sensibility that draws from a wide range of influences, Lydia Loveless proves her versatility, as well as her lasting power with fans of alt-country and rock. With Indestructible Machine, fans of artists like Neko Case, Those Darlins, and Lucinda Williams can't go wrong with adding this one to their collections.  Uprooted Music Review
