Molly Parden’s third full-length album, Sacramented, feels wholly realized in the way that only the lengthy and deep passage of time can bring about. With the ideation of some cuts, like single “Dandy Blend,” dating as far back as 2016, the singer-songwriter’s lush yet gentle voice tiptoes through the 39-minute collection with gravity and grace as she vulnerably persists at the one thing anyone can ever meaningfully do when one thinks and writes about love—ask questions. In full collaboration with Nashville staple Micah Tawlks (COIN, Hayley Williams, The Brook & The Bluff), Sacramented’s earthy and playfully poignant textures bubble up while tasteful breakbeats and expansive string arrangements reveal themselves with purpose. Alongside Parden’s carefully constructed lyrical contributions, each song grounds and envelops itself in a clarity and warmth that becomes essential, much like an every-morning cup of coffee.
