In 1949, a young American artist named Ray Johnson left Black Mountain College near Asheville, N.C., moved to New York City and began to explore his prolix talents, both visual and verbal.

On one especially prolix ballad, “Blind,” she lets her lyrics fly fast and furious, only half-apologizing for being “raunchy like Bob Saget” before outlining how toxic romances erode self-worth.

It’s hard to imagine a more committed recording; but if there are moments in the first three movements when Rott’s promise truly shines through, there’s nothing Hrusa can do for the absurdly prolix finale.

She added, in a prolix sentence that nonetheless makes its point, “Or is it actually that the sense of achievement his work self-consciously carries with it itself carries less credibility than it used to?”

He wasn’t a particularly gifted or prolix orator.
