Mary Gauthier excels at creating soundscapes, little cinematic scenes in which haunting music evokes a human heart bereft of hope and love or in which propulsive rhythms elevate the human longing to be transported above the fray of clashing emotions. The spare quality of the songs on ‘Reckoning,’ her first album since 2018’s ‘Rifles & Rosary Beads,’ plumb the depths our losses as well as the ways we overcome them with anticipation and action, both in our personal and in our political relationships.
