Gregory and the Hawk: “Landscapes”

Meredith Godreau is Gregory the Hawk, and on this, her third album, the singer-songwriter makes a delicate racket with her high-pitched voice and cinematic strings. It’s a formula familiar to fans of Joanna Newsom and Mirah, and will undoubtedly give rise to comparisons, but Godreau carves a niche all her own within the folk-pop genre with smart, biting lyrics, and myriad highs and lows of volume and emotion.
