What happened to this innovative, inventive band?

(4 out of 5 stars)

""High Flying Kid Stuff" is an extraordinary release that actually deserves five stars, but the production leaves much to be desired. Listening to this music takes me back to the days of childhood innocence when the world was still fresh and new, and not the nightmarish place you conclude it to be the more you grow up. Although an underlying sinister element and adult themes are evident in the music, Julie Shields keeps the tone light and happy, as her vocal style is somewhat reminiscent of Alvin and the Chipmunks. Please do not interpret this as insulting or demeaning, as her style offers a nice juxtaposition with the occasional heavy sounds, although interpreting lyrics can be difficult. If someone could tell me whatever became of this band, I would truly appreciate it."
