Overview

Brandi Carlile had her breakthrough with 2018's By the Way I Forgive You, an album released 13 years after her debut. Having a rich body of work at the point she became a household name meant she had the confidence to depart from the stately sweep of By the Way I Forgive You when it came time to deliver its successor, In These Silent Days. Working with the same crew as she did on By the Way I Forgive You -- her longtime collaborators Phil and Tim Hanseroth are here, along with co-producers Dave Cobb and Shooter Jennings -- Carlile crafts an album that's bolder and brawnier than its predecessor. In These Silent Days has plenty of intimate moments -- it starts quietly, unfolding with just Carlile's voice and piano, the same elements that close the album -- but they're punctuated by brisk melodies, steady-rolling rhythms and dramatic crescendos that capture the full roar of Carlile and the Hanseroths. That power is evident during the spells where they restrain themselves, adding texture and color to Carlile's hushed passion. What separates In These Silent Days from the rest of Carlile's albums is its controlled urgency and tight sense of craft, an aesthetic evident in how the album is as lean and robust as a well-loved record from the '70s. Often, In These Silent Days conjures a specific spirit, as if Elton John cut a collection of Laurel Canyon folk-rock in 1973 without abandoning his yearning to rock. Carlile may tip her hat to Elton and Joni Mitchell here ("You and Me on the Rock" feels like an explicit nod to "Big Yellow Taxi") but as the album alternates between candid whispers and raw catharsis, it is unmistakably the work of Brandi Carlile, who once again proves she's one of the best singer/songwriters of her generation. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
