For her 2007 Minty Fresh debut, POVERINA, Astrid Swan unfurls a colorful tapestry of indie-pop tunes. On this sophisticated and lushly arranged set of songs, the Finnish singer-songwriter inhabits the sonic territory in between Joanna Newsom ... Full Descriptionand Tori Amos (in a good mood), sometimes recalling a female counterpart to Sufjan Stevens, as on the orchestral, waltz-like "They Need You If You Think You Love Them."

EVERCLEAR, AMC's finest hour and one the '90s' most powerful albums, is simultaneously lush and searing, heartache and despair borne out in elegant arrangements that combine fragile prettiness and soul-baring howls of pain. Multi-instrumentalist Bruce Kaphan rose to the occasion of his production debut. The canyons of reverb on the instruments are strangely appropriate, highlighting the almost decadent, tragically beautiful feel of the songs. Keyboards, pedal steel, and acoustic guitars drift like abandoned ships swirling around in a colorfully tempestuous sea full of unknown nautical demons. Guitarist Vudi contributes some of the most artful, non-traditional sounds ever concocted by a "rock" axeman.
The album begins with a slow, soulful lament to a love who's either sleeping or dead, before taking up the subject of mortality more fully in the anthemic "Rise," written by Eitzel for an AIDS-stricken friend. Eitzel observes the trials of those around him on "Ex-Girlfriend," but "Sick of Food" turns his gaze inward, breathlessly describing his alienation from virtually everything and his simultaneous longing for connection. His disaffection grows more urgent on "The Dead Part of You," but by the closing folky ballad "Jesus' Hands," Eitzel's delivering a plea for redemption that finds him strangely at peace with contentment's evanescence.
Recorded at Music Annex Studio A, Menlo Park, California, Soma Sync Studios and Brilliant Studios, San Francisco, California.

| | Get Yer Boots On: The Best Of Slade CD (2004)
Poverina music CDs
$9.85 
Led by the amiable Noddy Holder and armed with a slew of intentionally misspelled song titles, Slade was one of the key groups in the 1970s U.K. glam movement. Whether settling into jaunty, piano-driven tunes ("Coz I Love You," "Look Wot You Dun") or running through amped-up guitar-heavy numbers ("Mama Weer All Crazee Now," "Cum on Feel the Noize," both covered by Quiet Riot), the ridiculously adorned band was clearly out to have fun, as revealed on the 16 well-selected tracks presented here.
Recorded between 1971 & 1984. Includes liner notes by Dan Epstein.
Slade: Neville "Noddy" Holder (vocals); Dave Hill (guitar); Jim Lea (bass); Don Powell (drums).
