Typical of the artists on the Brooklyn-based Ruination record label, West possesses a unique sound that is equally adept in a number of different musical environments. Close to the Mystery was produced by multi-instrumentalist Sarah Pedinotti (Lip Talk, Kalbells) and features adept instrumentation by the likes of Shahzad Ismaily, guitarist Adam Brisbin (Buck Meek, Cassandra Jenkins), Nico Osborne (Nicomo), and Katy Pinke (whose self-titled debut album was released on Ruination last month). West, who wrote all the album’s songs, takes the listener on a multifaceted journey that begins with the sumptuous, unmoored “End of the World”, accompanied mainly by acoustic guitar and dotted with understated strings.
The tremolo-treated electric guitar that runs through “Differences” gives the song the feel of a midcentury soul ballad or perhaps a country waltz filtered through Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins. “And when the night will howl at your moon,” she sings to a lover in the ashes of a breakup, “I will stare right through the silk of your face / Let you know you won’t be alone.” Jackie West’s vocals and the way they’re recorded sound like she may be the reincarnation of classic vocalists like Peggy Lee or a new generation’s Hope Sandoval.
