“Lives Outgrown” is Beth Gibbons’ first solo album. (Thirty years after her band Portishead’s first hit.) Over the course of ten songs, Gibbons grounds her voice in a heavy, yet unflustered, mostly organic sound. Great moments of catharsis are largely absent, but the album as a whole cleanses the soul of both the artist and the listener. A beautifully emotional album for intoxicated people.
