Brandi Carlile’s In These Silent Days Is Brilliantly Intimate
Perhaps no artist was better equipped to withstand quarantine, at least from a logistical perspective, than Brandi Carlile. The singer lives on a farm in rural Washington state, about 45 minutes outside Seattle (and 10 minutes from her tiny hometown of Ravensdale). Her core bandmates Phil and Tim Hanseroth are her neighbors, and their families hunkered down together throughout the pandemic. With her songwriting partners conveniently located within her “bubble,” Carlile continued to work, conjuring her aptly titled seventh studio LP In These Silent Days. The anticipated follow-up to her Grammy-winning masterstroke, 2018’s By The Way, I Forgive You, is once again magnificent — a triumphant patchwork of Americana, folk-rock, pop and soul anchored by yet another show-stopping centerpiece in “R...
