If you're the kind of person who feels making a statement, any statement, is an act of unpardonable hubris, then this CD may speak to you. The lyrics will evoke your love for language, literature and philosophy. There are poetic concepts of identity and reality. There is the wisdom that knows it can never be wise. There is love. All this gets enclosed and soothed, feminized and personalized in a hauntingly beautiful teenage voice.

Kindly and cruelly this music will take you inside to that hidden sensitive place where rhyme and reason do not rule. But you need good rhyme and reason to get there. Think of a siren luring you both intellectually and emotionally. Then, if you listen to these songs again and again, strength becomes weakness and weakness becomes strength. And you know you're not alone. It can make an old wise man cry.

Never mind that this girl is Paul Auster's daughter, her voice and themes are enough presentation. CHeck out her site to listen to a sample...

refreshing voice with an special old taste.. reminds something to the 1000 maniacs... nice to hear and better to listen.
