Oh how I love you. Remember what you felt when you listened to Hole's "Live Through This"? This is how I feel listening to this record. It's moody and dark, kinda Nick Cave like. I also get a bit of Angelfish in there too (remember Shirley Manson's previous band before Garbage?). It's almost as if you are in the same room. The group consists of Liz McGrath, Morgan Slade and Sylvain de Muizon. According to their band bio, "longtime collaborators Liz McGrath and Morgan Slade became husband and wife; but on Lullabies, the lovelorn heroine once again finds herself knee-deep in misfortune. The 13 songs document her love on the run, her passionate yet cruel man, his murder, and the longing for atonement that she can only express in song." Besides being a musican, Liz lended her creativity to the artwork too. I always love a band who care about what their album work looks like. It's very odd and I've never seen anything like it. Check her out ASAP. (www.missderringer.com)
