I don't know either of the bands this lady was in (PS Eliot or Swearin') so this is all new to me. Starts off quite low-key and then suddenly explodes into life. She certainly has a decent voice.”Dean's Room” has a nice new-wave vibe to it, lots of energy, “Sightseeing” has a haunting, yearning feel, mostly driven on piano, while the rolling percussion and buzzy synths really make “Mile Away” something special. Good album. I wouldn't say great album, but certainly worth a listen.
Check out more from this artist? Maybe, though this is her debut so not possible for a while
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Yeah I do like a bit of synthpop
