More than the sonic similarity to British folk legends Pentangle and Fairport Convention, Elisa Randazzo’s debut album “Bruises & Butterflies” (out on Drag City) is remarkable for its sweet poetry. Randazzo, a fashion designer by day and the former singer/violinist for Red Krayola, teamed up with then-husband Josh Schwartz [who released new music as Painted Hills earlier this year] as Fairechild as few years back. Randazzo’s break-up album, and it is that, was made with collaborator Aaron Robinson and features contributions from ’70s British singer-songwriter Bridget St. John [more background]. Recommended.
