Review: the former lead singer for The Peak Show has a new band and shows off two sides of her personality, both enveloping. One side is bright & sunny, the other dark & moody. The band provides the all the atmosphere her songs require.
Track Review (favorites denoted by *):
*1/ 100 Proof (3:29( - percussion starts> snappy uptempo song> quick fade
2/ Bedford Stuyvesant (3:21) - moog starts> midtempo song about growing up with sonic hiphop beat> quick fade
*3/ Stuck (2:34) - drums start> uptempo funky song> quick fade
*4/ Butterflies (3:42) - Mood starts with sonic drone> midtempo song with sonic undertow> quick fade
5/ Flashback (3:15) - piano starts> bouncy midtempo song with reggae vibe> quick fade
*6/ (bonus track) - 9count down) mood starts> midtempo cover of old Zappa song with clever pointed lyrics> quick stop
*7/ motorcycle sound on Moog> uptempo rocker song> rocking jam> song> quick fade
*8/ Halloween (3:41) - guitar starts with ominous chords> midtempo dark rocker song> pounding chords leads into heavy vocals> slow fade
**9/ American Nightmare (5:43) - Mood starts quietly, joined by piano> slow ominous song> psychedelic slow jam> slow song> quick fade
10/ Die Die My Darling (3:33) - drums start> midtempo song> guitar solo> midtrmpo song with rcking guitar> quick fade
*11/ Vampira (2:21) - boogie guitar riffs start like early Black Sabbath> uptempo song> quick stop
