You have to reach back to PJ Harvey’s early-‘90s releases to find an album as sexually frank and ferocious as Carol Bui’s Red Ship. The songs on the Tacoma-based singer/songwriter’s third album tear into the politics of love (and lust) with a fearless sort of gusto. Bui builds these tracks around her own furious drum-work, matched by her jagged guitar lines and aggressive (yet sensitive) vocals. Red Ship’s lyrics depict the dark and light sides of the erotic with a discerning eye — whether she takes on the role of a contemptuous sex worker (“Mira: You’re Free With Me”) or an enraptured pleasure-seeker (“Hafla/Joy”), Bui throws herself fully into her subject matter. She benefits from the album’s fusion of punk and Middle Eastern sounds, sweetened with violins and spiced with exotic percussion. The harsh metallic bite of “’Geisha’ Means ‘Open Minded’” contrasts with the dizzy rhythms of “Xoxo” and the clattering, ritualistic swirl of “Highlights.” Bui takes creative risks on Red Ship and makes them pay off thanks to her ability to abandon herself to the power of her music.
