With a voice that sounds like it was cut straight from the era when Nancy Sinatra reigned supreme, the music of Portland-based singer-songwriter Alexandra Savior conjures haunted dolls, patterned carpet, and the chill of a forest in winter. It’s cinematic. And full of longing. After working with Alex Turner on her 2017 debut album Belladonna of Sadness (which admittedly reminds me of Arctic Monkeys' Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino), her latest album, The Archer, borrows all the old-school synthesizers and pairs it with a 1970s Italian horror mood. “Crying All the Time” purrs with a woozy sophisticated sadness while “Howl” shimmers with synths, held down by an ominous bass line. by Jas Keimig
