Tin Cup ProphetteLiar and the Thief
2006
"Through the use of the violin and other delicately played instruments, Kapousouz and her collaborators originate consistently lush, atmospheric soundscapes which radiate a quiet strength. And though her songs often begin with an air of emotional detachment, the repetition Kapousouz employs affords her the opportunity to generate genuine emotional climaxes that never feel cheaply gained or contrived, either building intensity little by little through slight alterations of the song’s arrangement or by driving home the sentiment with her lovely, resonant vocals. Kapousouz provides a beautiful tone painting on album opener “Speak or Spill Down” as cascading melodic notes give life to the words, “Courage come down, courage come down / I say speak or spill down.” Other particularly significant moments come on the transcendent “Liar and the Thief”, “Going Numb” (which steps up the pace and intricacy of string parts) and “Until the Dust”, possibly the album’s best offering. With the latter, on a bed of sublime strings and keys, Kapousouz turns in a memorable vocal performance, dripping with resolve in the face of heartache and disappointment. Liar and the Thief proves Kapousouz a performer with much to offer fans of subtly poignant indie pop. "
