Ruth Garbus Brings Acoustic Pop to New Heights with Profound Third LP

Vermont's Ruth Garbus is about to shatter the conventional wisdom that acoustic pop can only be as mellow as a cloudy afternoon. Her third album, Profound, is an audacious statement of intent – think sparse, electro-acoustic arrangements and lyrics that burrow into the human condition like a sonic excavator. It's an ambitious move, but one that yields stunning results.
