Product Description

This is the first self-produced CD from the multi-talented artist, Thea Kearney, who performs music under the name "Thea K." A singer, songwriter and guitarist, as well as visual artist from Brooklyn, NY, Thea K's music has diverse influences with a mix of folksy rock, metal, pop, punk and a bit of funk with a singer/songwriter sensibility.

From the sociopolitical commentary of the title track "Species Closeout" and the song "Homogenized," to the quirky pop of "Faces In the Shower" or funk-tinged songs "My Imago" and "Fun House," this CD has something for everyone. From the lighter, introspective songs "Marion" and "Damaged Goods" to the heavier, metal-influenced songs like "Thirty Dollars An Ounce," this CD takes the basic genre of rock and adds many different ingredients.

Always one to resist being put into a category or become a clone of anyone, Thea K, along with the drumming talents of Pam Arnold, and bassist Peter Sampson, has created a great D.I.Y. alternative rock album with thoughtful lyrics and some kicking rock n' roll. Crank this one up for the best listening experience! A self-taught musician, Thea K is not your average female singer/songwriter. She writes and plays her own guitar solos, illustrated and designed the cover, and had a hand in mixing the tracks as well. This CD is straight-forward with minimal overdubs or multi-tracking to stay faithful to Thea K's power trio live shows.

If you like different styles of rock with lyrics that are smart, angry, ironic and quirky, you will be pleased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great songs, good vocals, original lyrics with a bite, September 8, 2004

By	Dorothy Josephs "Dorothy Josephs, Critic/Author" (New York City, NY United States) - See all my reviews

SPECIES CLOSEOUT is a wonderful debut CD for Thea K. A very original singer songwriter and band leader, Thea K. has written some memorable lyrics with a conscience and a bite. Thea K. is NOT a hollering nothing sort of music maker, but one with some interesting points to make set to memorable melodies with rhythms that rock you. This girl can sing! I've listened to the best, and the best would love these tunes and record them, too, if they heard them. There are some that are so memorable they stick in your head and should be bestselling hits. DAMAGED GOODS and SPECIES CLOSEOUT as well as FACE THE FEAR are great songs--ones which could last the ages and still be sung for years to come. Very original and poetic lyrics, good vocals, and terrific guitar playing. Five Stars for sure! That a way to go Thea K ! You rock us good!
