I want to compare Plamondon's voice to someone' s but I'm not quite comfortable name checking Kate Bush, Grace Slick, Klaus Nomi, or Ofra Haza; none of them exactly suggest the drama and power and compelling weirdness of Plamondon's pipes. Coupling her voice with several different musical configurations (including Joy Fm, Satyrica, Pox Eclipse, and Lucid) Plamondon sings jarring political songs, operatic pop, and most interestingly, World Music Hybrids in which she occasionally goes into that strange vibratic vocal thing beautiful sirens on Star Trek would do... maybe her genre should be called Otherworldly Music. This album will leave you exhausted and possibly confused, but also jonesing for more of this strange seductive stuff.

Innovative performer, composer, and classically trained opera singer, Andrea Plamondon has been compared to artists as diverse as, Lisa Gerrard , Siouxie Sioux, and Pavarotti. Since 1989 she has performed in many of San Francisco's clubs and venues, impressing audiences with her dramatic, atmospheric output.
Plamondon's first band "Pox Eclipse" garnered press in the nineties, while her 2008 anthology "I Still Remember", an intriguing slice of the San Francisco underground from 1989-2006 , has received praise for it's unusual and incredible diversity, including a review being published in Fox News. The work combines her artistry with some of the most original alternative rock bands ever to grace the Bay Area.
