Knuckle Down

The music DiFranco has created this time around is as stunning as ever, from such poignant yet instantly irresistible tunes as ‘Studying Stones’ and ‘Recoil’ to the spoken-word piece ‘Parameters’ a harrowing account of a woman finding an uninvited stranger in her bedroom one night. On ‘Paradigm’, DiFranco recalls helping her mother’s efforts at grassroots activism, when she was “Just a girl in a room full of women/licking stamps and laughing”.Through twelve new songs as intricately crafted as short stories, DiFranco creates another unforgettable musical self-portrait of a woman coming to grips with love’s twists and turns, confronting the legacy of her family, and learning to live on her own terms.
