With Aftermath, Elizabeth Cook continues to write her way through catharsis by revisiting her most precious and painful memories. “Bones,” the psych rock-tinged barn-burner of an album opener, deals in truth vs. metaphor and “When She Comes” is a throwback to that brutal period after rehab when her “impending death on a hotel room floor” was the stuff of painful gossip. Aftermath has its rambunctious high points, too. Aftermath isn’t just regrowth, but the blossoming of Cook’s most honest exploration of herself in song yet - one that continues to teach her as she looks back on everything she poured into it.
