Our Take

Alec Ounsworth's latest offering, "Mo Beauty," is a whimsical journey through the mind of a musical maverick. With a touch of psychedelic flair and a penchant for off-kilter melodies, Ounsworth manages to charm and bewilder in equal measure.

From the opening track, "What Fun," it's clear that Ounsworth is in no rush to conform to traditional song structures or expectations. His quirky lyrics and unconventional vocal delivery give the album a sense of playfulness that is impossible to resist.

Tracks like "Holy, Holy, Holy Moses (Song for New Orleans)" showcase Ounsworth's ability to blend the personal and the political in a way that is both poignant and thought-provoking. The raw emotion and heartfelt sincerity of his songwriting shine through, making for a truly captivating listening experience.

But it's not all serious introspection on "Mo Beauty." Ounsworth knows how to have a good time, too, as evidenced by the infectious grooves of tracks like "Obscene Queen Bee #2" and "That Is Not My Home (After Bruegel)."

In the end, "Mo Beauty" is a testament to Ounsworth's talent and creativity as a musician. With its eclectic mix of styles and influences, this album is sure to delight and surprise fans old and new. Don't miss out on this gem of a record - it's a true masterpiece in every sense of the word.
