Singer/songwriter MooreÆs follow-up to 1995Æs intimate Admiral
CharcoalÆs Song is another highly personal work, and one she
recorded ù as its title implies ù largely on her own. These 12
songs of loss and discovery mix downtown Manhattan art-rock
instincts with the compositional signposts of minimalism and a
taste for dissonance. The result is that numbers like
"This/Past" and "Forest at Night" ù really most of this
material ù take on an otherworldly quality abetted by their
extreme quiet or rapid shifts in dynamics and character. With
waves of ominous distorted guitar giving way to a near still
life of clean-picked melodies and the chirp of electronic
crickets, nothing in MooreÆs world seems more permanent than
her latest impulse. Which fits with all her lyric allusions to
mental imbalance.
Toy instruments also contribute to the zip and twitter of her
palette, cranking up the surrealism because theyÆre mostly used
with serious intent. The sole cover is Earth Wind & FireÆs
"Fantasy," which ù set to an industrial throb-and-clatter ù
fits oddly well in the universe MooreÆs plucked from her head.
Pop fans will find her voice the easiest entry point: her alto
has clarity and presence, and her phrasing at times recalls
Bj÷rk or SinΘad OÆConnor. But sheÆs far too original to copy
anyone.
