Laney Lebo finds a darker truth beneath ethereal indie folk on “Slow Acting Poison”

Laney Lebo’s “Slow Acting Poison” takes a familiar tale of temptation from an intriguing new angle, seeing the Garden of Eden through the eyes of the apple itself. Airy, ethereal vocals drift over warm, earthy indie-folk guitars, creating a delicate atmosphere with a darker current running beneath. Lebo takes a familiar biblical image and turns it into a meditation on temptation, perception, and the stories we inherit by questioning the assumption that anything desirable must also be dangerous.
