Lizzie No’s music is a captivating blend of folk, rock, and indie elements, marked by her expressive vocals, intricate guitar work, and unexpected harp playing. On her new album Halfsies, No fuses the personal and political with a patchwork of influences that include everything from roadworn rock to orchestral tension, creating a sound that is at once chaotic and haunting. Tracks like "Lagunita" pulse with jagged guitar lines and frenetic beats, while songs like "Annie Oakley" echo with a raw, spiritual energy, inviting listeners to inhabit the immersive world she has created.
Collaborations with artists like Grammy-winner Allison Russell and members of the Attacca Quartet enrich the album’s sonic landscape, infusing it with a dynamic tension that reflects the urgency of No’s themes. Her music feels both timeless and timely, drawing comparisons to artists like Lucinda Williams while also pushing boundaries with its layered, genre-defying approach.
