On Unravel, a live album recorded at the New York City studio, the Magic Shop, Amelia’s Dream ably strides the fine lines of rock genres. Amelia Gerwitz’s vocals shine on these tracks, except a few times when it veers a little too far down the “country” road, even if it might be a rocky country road. Still, the album is a nice mixture of uptempo rockers and wistful ballads, and there’s nary a lull from start to finish.

Unravel is well produced, features tight playing, and is pleasantly unpredictable. Halfway through the album, the gentle “Sandcastle” gives way to the alternative guitar sounds of “Only on the Inside,” only to reverse course back to the ballad “Before Your Time.” The 13 tracks here showcase the broad expanse of Amelia’s Dream’s songwriting tableau.

Favorite Track: Track 7, “Sandcastle”
