On her third album, Indigo De Souza, 25, is trying to figure out life and who she is, but knows the answers don't come easy. "Time Back" is a musical and emotional rollercoaster, starting out as exuberant synth pop before De Souza spits a playground taunt—"You're bad/ You suck/ You fucked me up"—over a loop of squalling kids, then the whole thing disintegrates into disorienting, spooky feedback. And that's all in just over two minutes; indeed, De Souza has a knack for keeping things short and bittersweet: Most of the songs on All of This Will End are three minutes or less. That's all the time it takes for her to poke at her own bruises—but she's also pointing fingers at her tormentors, and figuring out how to reclaim her power. "You can be a dick to me/ That's what I'm used to," she starts out on "You Can Be Mean," which comes on like a ray of '90s sunshine, cheerful whistle and all. But then self-preservation kicks in, along with churning guitars: "I can't believe I let you touch my body/ I can't believe I let you get inside." De Souza has said it's "about the last horrible guy that I let push me around," one who she initially made excuses for: "I'd like to think you got a good heart and your dad was just an asshole growing up." Her own dad does not escape scrutiny. "Father/ I thought you'd be here/ I thought you'd try/ I thought you'd stay," she sings on "Always," which goes from bare bones to a monstrous whirl, De Souza's voice at once light as a feather then breaking into a furious whoop. She appealingly, lazily performs vocal acrobatics on "All of This Will End" (as in "Who gives a fuck/ All of this will end"—advocating for choosing acceptance in the face of anxiety) and lets out a goth howl over the heavy stomp of "Wasting Your Time." "Smog" applies a high-energy dance beat to self-reproach ("I eat too much when l'm lonely/ I bury everything/ I wanna face it head-on/ But it's so easy to turn it away"). "The Water" surprises with a horn arrangement, and "Not My Body" plays with steel guitar dreaminess to reach Alanis Morissette-ike mysticism. Like Blondshell's Sabrina Teitelbaum, De Souza can pull off the heavy stuff—real guitar rock—as well as a killer power ballad; see: "Younger & Dumber," a heartbreaker kissed with steel guitar. As she sings on "Parking Lot," "I'm a growing girl/ My ups and downs are natural." © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz
