Album DescriptionIf Bjork had a platinum Warhol hairdo, combined the dirgy loops of Amon Tobin with South Asian violin samples, played electric guitar and moved like Ziggy Stardust, you might be looking at an act like Priya Thomas. She is a multi-instrumentalist who composes on guitar and piano, programs all her own loops and produces her own material. Her new Cd, "Songs for Car Commercials" is a cleaver-sharp chronicle of being an "outsider". The CD is a collection of cleverly crafted futuristic pop songs about the human spirit and what it means to survive in a materially insatiable world. Defiant and anti-authoritarian, singer-songwriter Priya Thomas represents a new phenomenon; the convergence of cultures in an unpredictable borderless sound.
