4.0 out of 5 stars unclassifiable madness, November 9, 2003

This review is from: Spool Forka Dish (Audio CD)

there is no genre that the Blue Up? really fit into...(super cute vocals by the lady now known as Ana Voog. She has a live webcam at anacam.com). I picked this album up used without ever listening to it, and I was so charmed by the sound. a little bit folky sometimes, a little rock, a little whimsy. fans of Francesca Lia Block books might like this one. this is what I imagine Weetzie Bat might sound like put ot music. the liner notes offer a puzzle among the lyrics, and the last track of the album is actually the whole album backwards! Ana, if you ever read this, please make some more music!!!!!! one of the forgotten albums of the mid-nineties, I'm always sad that these ladies didn't make more music together.

This review is from: Spool Forka Dish (Audio CD)

This is a surprisingly strong album that shouldn't be as obscure as it is. This is essentially a Rachel Olson (Ana Voog) solo project with production help from Bobby Z (Prince & The Revolution). Olson writes, sings, and plays every instrument except drums. There's a lot to like here, from mid-90s alterna-pop to roaring, angsty riot-grrl tunes.

This disc was the only major-label release by the band. It probably wasn't properly promoted, as it is widely available for almost zero $$ in used bins around the US and on Amazon.
