“Lead Paint” is a muted indie-folk confessional from Los Angeles alt-pop artist Lucy Frost, who delivers gutting exposures. Frost’s ghostly guitar textures and diaristic storytelling communicate the slow awakening to the feeling of loving someone who is quietly comforting and killing you. It's a track that unfolds, never forcing its emotions, which makes it all the more potent. Her singing is so personal, it’s like reading pages ripped out of a private diary. There’s an elegance to the stillness of the song, letting each lyric hang there, full of weight. "Lead Paint" is intimate songwriting at its most cinematic and quietly unforgettable.
