     Bestowed with the kind of crystalline voice that makes an
     Alpine stream appear double-murky, Peggy Honeywell (aka Clare
     Rojas) has been at the forefront of alt.country since it
     appeared blinking from Galaxia's ample bosom - with 'Faint
     Humms' her second full-length. Dripping with a self-assurance
     that never becomes cocky, Honeywell has eschewed the stellar
     production unit of last album 'Honey For Dinner' in favour of
     a stripped down approach that sees her, a guitar, some banjo
     and the occasional shake of a tambourine getting chatty for
     your listening pleasure. Positioned at the nub where Chan
     Marshall, Loretta Lynn and Beth Orton collide, Honeywell opens
     'Faint Humms' with the gorgeous 'Peach And Yellow' - wherein a
     tantalisingly hollow guitar part finds itself subject to the
     kind of emotional onslaught by a lovelorn Honeywell that would
     have a full-fat double bass buckling. From here we're ushered
     immediately into the dusty environs of 'R.R.V', a place where
     Honeywell allows a pop-fed melody to get in the way of any
     austere notions; an approach which gives birth to a witty,
     catchy and fantastically pithy mediation on unwanted
     separation. Pass me a tissue... Elsewhere, 'Faint' lives up to
     the album title through a drifting cloud of melodious humming,
     'Drama King' gets Haiku on your ass with a bass-laden
     composition, whilst 'Humms' does exactly what it says on the
     tin. Very well. Sweet like honey!
