There’s a witchy vibe about Ellen Starski’s music, a quality of many of the greatest female musicians (Cat Power, Kate Bush). There’s also a a lot of tenderness, like someone watching over these songs like their new-born baby.
This sentimentality is emphasized by the electric mellow guitars and drums, happily taking a step back from the proceedings. The result is an essential recording of what Ellen Starski can produce, with no fluff or filer caught on tape.
