The Review
Andrea Plamondon "I Still Remember (A Collection Of Songs From San Francisco's
Underground 1989-2006)"
From San Francisco, Andrea Plamondon has created an unusually unique arrangement by adding her lyrics and vocal melodies to the music on this collection. An upbeat punk-eighties style lends to a rhythmic dance beat on the first two tracks, with percussion brewing strongly on songs like Hope Springs Eternal, and on Five Year Old Sages I am reminded of the likes of Grace Slick with a softer side. Little Boy Lost really exhibits an angelic performance reminiscent of something close to religious; the crescendo almost eternal, winding into a haunting vocal on Invisible Animals. Desert March is very "world" feeling whether of the middle east or an ancient Roman cathedral.
Plamondon is widely versatile with an emotional and mental recurrence to the mind. She would likely be comfortable on a punk stage, taking a bow on Broadway, performing a rock opera or singing three hail Mary’s, and this collection is proof of that.
