All That We Let In

Epic

Folk-rock survivors find new angles

THERE'S A LIGHTNESS ABOUT THE Indigo Girls' ninth album, even on the songs about heartbreak. Nine-teen years into their career, the duo shows it can still surprise listeners, on songs such as Amy Ray's improbably jumpy, ska-tempoed "Heartache for Everyone" and Emily Saliers' wearily hopeful "Fill It Up Again." Musically, Indigo Girls' New South roots show on "Perfect World," which wouldn't have been out of place on the B-52's' Cosmic Thing. Ray's hard-edged, forthright "Tether" тА" the longest and most electric track here тА" asks and answers its own question: "Can we make it better?" The answer is yes.
