Secularia (2018)

"Austin-based songwriter Eliza Gilkyson has charted the ever-changing aspects of the world around her -- inner and outer -- for the better part of 40 years with brutal honesty and a poet's gift for detail. The Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee has stubbornly stuck to finding her own path through the minefield of American popular music without paying it too much mind. On Secularia, she delivers a series of "secular hymns" that try in vain to find answers to the unanswerable, without once mentioning a benevolent, comforting deity. Produced by her son Cisco Ryder, these songs, new and old, originals and covers, create and exist in a gorgeous tension that bravely assumes responsibility for being okay with her questions about the spiritual unknown. Perhaps that's because of the weight she places on the beauty and complexity of human nature". (Allmusic)
