 An all-time favorite

| Of the 7,000 CDs in my collection, this stands within my Top 50 somewhere alongside "Loveless" and "The Unforgettable Fire." A staggering album of pervasive beauty. If you're thinking at all about buying this CD, I urge you to do so. It is incredible. |

| - Another one of those NYC-based artists/bands that I truly adore. I cannot say enough how good this CD is. The music has a very cinematic-life feel to it, blending the rousing dichotomies of urgent and pastoral tales. It's beautifully addictive. From my reactions to it, it's definitely one of the soundtracks to my life; as I've told Caroline, I feel like she's singing about some of my own scenarios. - |

 good album

I bought this album after reading a review in Magnet magazine. They do sound a bit like the shoe gazer bands of the late 1980's and early 90's, but there is more to them than that. They incorporate acoustics into their music which the other bands of that particular genre didn't, ie: Lush, My Bloody Valentine, Chapterhouse, et al. The guitars seem to be layered, adding a deep, somewhat brooding sound to their music. I'm still getting used to the tracks and don't know them by heart yet, but #3,4 and 7 are very good.
This is petty, but I wish the cd or webpage had the lyrics to the songs because they are somewhat difficult to understand. I might appreciate the songs a lot more if I knew with certainty what they were saying. |

the best album you didn't know existed

i was in my local record store when i first heard this album being played... i couldn't believe how good it sounded. i also had no idea who these guys were. i actually stayed in the store for an hour just to listen to it.
i've heard folksongs compared to the likes of lush and rainer maria, but i think they go beyond that. caroline (the singer/writer) has a mysterious, ghostly voice that conveys beauty and passion, while at the same time seamlesslly meshing into the sound motifs of each song. they utilize a brit-pop/folk base for their music, while blending in wonderful effects (and a brilliant understanding for the moog synthesizer). try listening to "reunion" as a good introductory piece. "you walked me home" is my other suggestion. they both showcase caroline's strong ability to write good lyrics and the band's talent for combining different chord progressions and sound tapestries. i really have to say that it's been a long time since i've been so impressed by a "new" band on the scene. not to mention, all of my friends keep trying to steal it from me:)
even if you're not normally into dreamy girl rock, you should at least give them a listen. it's been a while since a band like them has surfaced to add a little creativity to the rock scene. and in a time when fabricated stick-sweet pop reigns, we should give all the support we can to the actual new talent arising. |
