Lydia Loveless — Nothing’s Gonna Stand In My Way Again

Few people make a fine art out of messy breakups the way Lydia Loveless can. Their melodious yearning gives all of their songs a special oomph, elevating these songs from great music to something immediate and direct. <em>Nothing’s Gonna Stand In My Way Again</em> finds Loveless returning to softer, guitar-based music after <em>Daughter</em>‘s incandescent explorations into pop and electronic music. Here, <a href="https://rainbowrodeomag.com/rainbow-ruckus-7-25-chris-housman-jenny-owen-youngs-lydia-loveless-and-more/">Loveless</a> examines loss and emotional damage with the air of someone who’s climbed out of it before and is amused to find themselves in the shit again.
