Brittney Parks builds on her distinctive African-fiddle-meets-R&B and electronica arrangements on this new Sudan Archives record. The sliding strings and skittering beats of the strong track, “Confessions,” provide a fascinating background for the melodic vocals. “Iceland Moss” is smooth and airy with a contrasting edge to her lyrics; “Pelicans in The Summer” has a nice dose of soul to wrap up this collection of well-produced and quirky genre-crossing songs.
