Arrica Rose straddles the line between wounded folk songstress and nostalgia-laden dream-popper, a dichotomy that served her music well on 2011’s “Let Alone Sea,” one of those long-players with enough sonic and emotional shifts to held your attention from front to back. On the newest effort from her band Arrica Rose & the …’s (say “dot dot dots”), “Without My Love,” our protagonist seems to take a “la-de-da” approach to her latest amorous adventure, but those who know Rose from the smoky-voiced confessionals on her first three albums know that is almost never the case.
