Sunshine" and "Down in the
Underground." The best song on the
album, "Sugar" features distorted
vocals and catchy lyrics.
On other songs like "Everything
That Rises Must Converge" and "Chill"
she sounds like an intimate folk singer.
"Alfred," a song about her grandfather,
has personal lyrics like "A businessman

As an

throughout the album.
Though Rapt is a solid piece of
work, Blasband has yet to reach her
full potential. The weaker songs on
the album sound too similar, and some
of the songs are repetitious.
