Notes: Released 9 June 2017, We Dissolve is the second album from Chrysta Bell Zucht, who performs as Chrysta Bell, best known for her work with David Lynch: Lynch worked on her first album and a subsequent EP, and she acts in the 2017 series of "Twin Peaks". It's sultry pop with an Americana influence. Downes' contributions are good, but not a very prominent part of the album. (HP, 1 Aug 17)
