Review

“Sometimes, I fantasize that I lie down and die with my old car,” laments Olivia Ellen Loyd. “Puny Sorrows” bookends her sophomore effort, Do It Myself, centered around self-acceptance and other trinkets of ideas. This song, in particular, sees Lloyd unstitching her heart, allowing every emotion (even the most trivial) to pour forth. It’s an apt closer for a record that also depicts the “curious exploration of independence and co-dependence and love as it comes and goes from our lives,” she explains.
