I was so impressed with her performance at SXSW of new material and I was very eager to hear it again. Her 3rd studio album <em>How I Learned To See in the Dark<\/em> is more bold and lyrically rich and needs the support a backing band to show off its genius. &#8220;Wrecking Ball&#8221;, the opening track is a perfect beginning to her deeper and spatial album. I won&#8217;t say that the record is a departure but rather an exploration of broader musical themes and bigger abstract compositions. Tonight she was very relaxed and even happy onstage and ultimately played the best set I&#8217;ve ever seen her perform. For someone that relies solely on her exuberant fan base and relentless touring she is the embodiment of what &#8220;independent&#8221; music should be. Her new album gets better with every listen and so far the best of the year for me. I&#8217;ve said it before and I&#8217;ll say it again, you gotta see her live. Pick up the new one and support this super talented musician.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chrispureka.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.chrispureka.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a monday night, Chris Pureka drew a pretty good crowd to Brooklyn.
