The latest entry into the canon of psychedelic-trip records, Margo Price’s new album Strays tells the story of a person arguably at their most vulnerable and plugged in to the world around them. Radiating empathy and communicating a sense of duty to others, it’s an album about feeling and feeding human connection in an increasingly disconnected world. It’s certainly familiar material, trading in themes that a lesser artist would likely spin into disingenuous preachiness, but Price pulls off a surprisingly emotional and complex project, though one that can still feel a bit bloated and rote in places.
