Debutante's Inferno

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Produced by Malcomn Burn (of Daniel Lanois fame), this debut album now long-since forgotten even in Canada (well, it's been about 14 years now) still "burns" brightly, if you'll pardon the pun.Michelle MacAdorey's vocals are fine throughout, especially on the closer "Bury Her", but it's the backing vocalist Jocelyn Lanois who should have probably taken over lead duties on the whole album instead of the lone tune "It's Not Funny Anymore" which is the best track on the LP.A decent cover of Neil Young's "Down To The Wire", the band's lone Canadian hit "Inside Out", and the moody, melancholic baby blues "One That Keeps Me Running" round out the album, which should find its way into every self-respecting music lover's collection."

Several good tunes

""I gave you my heart" is really good, but I could almost swear I I heard it in a David Lynch movie once, didn't I? Anyhow it could've been a radio single.Overall, very good singing and mostly strong melodies. Lots of vibrato & reverb give it kind of deep, dark, bottom-of-the-ocean sound - appropriate enough since the lyrics all seem to be about getting dumped or something.Too bad this is out of print, but it's worth snagging a used copy I think."

Solid under the radar CD

"The CD reminds me of a more polished PJ Harvey with the same melancholy style of female vocals and nice guitar work. Overall an incredible find, I used to play this on the college radio station at U. of Wisconsin (one of my favorites). The title track, sky, down to the wire, bury her and it's not funny anymore are all songs that I play today and they turn heads. I know it's been 14 years but music hasn't changed all that much unless your a big fan of limp biscuit. Worth every penny!"
