Natalie "The Floacist" Stewart's third solo release has no apparent grand aspiration, despite its title and hour-plus length, two qualities indicative of a concept album. In fact, there's no clarification as to whether the phoenix mermaid is part mythological bird, part human-fish, or merely a mythological human-fish from the real Arizona desert. Still aligned with Chris "Big Dog" Davis, who played all but one guitar line and one bassline and produced it all, Stewart stretches out across 13 tracks of introspection, romantic contentment and strife, sisterhood, and motherhood. It's all positive and empowered reflection, expressed through Stewart's mostly whispery recitations and singing. Over the course of the album, her approach can wear thin or fade into the background.
