WBUR lists Izzy Heltai’s upcoming release Father in their 7 Albums To Listen To This Fall.
“The ruminating alt-country that inhabits “Father,” Northampton-based singer-songwriter Izzy Heltai’s debut album, is the culmination of years of introspection. Take “Songbird” for example, the album’s pedal steel-twanged focal point, the inspiration for which arose on tour after a night camped out in a Walmart parking lot. Or, the strolling, roots-driven groove of “To Talk About Yourself,” a personal reflection of the trans, singer-songwriter’s identity in society. Through 10 tracks of honest, contemplative perspective and welcoming songwriting, “Father” elevates Heltai’s voice to a level of maturity that suits the stories he tells, with every detail complemented by the hearty strum of warm Americana.”
