CD reviews: Jenny Lee

The bassist for acclaimed Los Angles indie rock outfit Warpaint, Jenny Lee Lindberg has pulled off that rare feat: emerging from the shadows of her main band and producing an album that stands on its own.

Not surprisingly, given Warpaint's collective technical ability, Right On! sheds further light on Lindberg's ability on bass, yet her playing comes from a place of compositional purpose rather than virtuoso posturing.

In fact, it's her voice that claims most attention as she roams from ethereal (Blind), angry and distant (Bully) to cool but yearning (He Fresh) on a nicely paced record that manages to somehow conjure a delicate celebratory note.

• Jenny Lee. Right On! Rough Trade.
