With a focus for detail, Luky brings rural prairie life into sharp focus, pulling a Faulknerian \u201cworld in a grain of sand\u201d trip on listeners. Hailing from Grandview, MB, Luky recorded <em>The Time It Takes<\/em> in the depths of winter at her family home there. The space of the house is audible, giving the album a decidedly open quality, and her songs the room to expand and breathe. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B82VCsdr3Jg\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cMy Flowers Are Empty\u201d<\/a> is sure to tug on listeners\u2019 heartstrings, while <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wa31wHG1qds\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cYou Won\u2019t Find Me\u201d<\/a> is a haunting tale of fugitive love. Overall, Luky\u2019s songwriting is strong, though a couple tracks are a bit too clich\u00e9 for my tastes \u2014 opener <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ip_4EkBUZ0U\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cCowboys Are Coming\u201d<\/a> being a good example of this tendency. Regardless, this disc is a beauty, and I would expect to hear more from Kayla Luky around Manitoba\u2019s vibrant folk and roots scene soon.
