A Fine Frenzy Gives Chills on "One Cell In The Sea"

While walking into my dorm room today, I was shocked to hear a hauntingly beautiful voice emanating from my roommate's computer. Normally, she and I don't have the same music taste, but A Fine Frenzy gave me chills.

A Fine Frenzy is 22-year-old Alison Sudol. She's not just a pretty face, either; and she's got the voice to prove it.





On "Almost Lover", she evokes memories of lovers who make promises, only to leave. Her lyrics are heartfelt:


I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy for you
To walk right in and out of my life?


"Almost Lover" is not the only gem from her album, "One Cell In The Sea." Her more upbeat, "You Picked Me" speaks of love that hasn't gone awry:


And all I can say
Is you blow me away


I haven't found an songstress this profound in a long while. Take a listen, and then go buy the CD. You know you want to. I couldn't offer any MP3's for this artist, but she's still well worth listening to.
