It’s no surprise that Turning Yr Back on the Dolphin reveals a formidable songwriter in Erica Dunn. There’s not a bad song on this record, even the weakest track is quite solid. She has absorbed the lessons of Townes Van Zandt and Joni Mitchell and created a batch of impeccable songs.

The themes of mclusky’s first foray into recorded music has remained intact ever since My Pain and Sadness’ initial release. It established that, right out of the gate, the trio were so sardonic that they must’ve had their tongues pressing against their cheeks throughout the entire record.
