"I felt like being daring" reflects 24-year-old Alison Sudol, aka A Fine Frenzy , on her forthcoming September 8 sophomore album Bomb In A Birdcage . "I think some people may be surprised. They think that I'm all fragile and ethereal, but I have a wild side, too. I'm a quiet person with a loud streak, and this record is a testament to that." One listen to "Blow Away," the aptly titled forceful and precocious first single, reveals that Sudol's claim to a new hotwired energy is not only accurate, it's well-suited. With an exhilarating pop pomp stomp, [...]

The song is the first single from her upcoming album, A Bomb in a Birdcage , which will be release on September 18th and which Alison promises is something of a new direction for [...]

Alison Sudol, the 24-year-old Seattle native behind A Fine Frenzy , wants you to know something: "I think some people may be surprised...They think that I'm all fragile and ethereal, but I have a wild side, too. I'm a quiet person with a loud streak." In other words, the title of Sudol's latest Fine Frenzy release, Bomb in a Birdcage , means exactly what you think - the author between 2007's colorful and warm One Cell in the Sea has let loose a bit. The result is an effort that is said [...]

I'm not totally moping around, being all emo-ish on valentine's day. I barely even noticed it. Still, I wish that I had a reason to really celebrate it, and I wish things had gone better.

Being a online music nerd has its perks, but unlike our music-producing associates, we don't have the privilege of having legions of fans throw themselves at us (except for maybe Blake, but that's stretching it). This year, the Buzzgrinder writers decided to turn the social aspect of the industry on its head and ask the rock star of our choice to be our valentine. Dear Alison Sudol (aka A Fine Frenzy ), If Adele can't make it , would you like [...]

Where I live, on a clear day I can see all three of the highest mountains in southern California. The double-punch storms of a few days ago left all three with a thick cover of snow. It didn't snow at my house this year, but four years ago we woke up the week of Thanksgiving to find a soft, white blanket had fallen during the night. The photo above is from that. Everything IS dead pretty when it snows. Pete Green: Everything's Dead Pretty When It Snows Website and [...]
Ryan Catbird is going to make fun of me this year. I've got five of his seven predictions on my list. I am the most predictable music blogger ever and I don't care. Just because I don't hold contempt against Pitchfork doesn't mean I'm a robot. Or maybe I am! Dun dun dunnnnn. 10. Adele – 19 My female musician crush of the year. (Last year's was Alison Sudol, aka A Fine Frenzy , if you recall .) She's [...]
My week at Breakthrough Radio ends with today's entry, and as promised, I'd like to take this opportunity to offer a little thanks and good cheer for the season. What follows is a repost, originally shared last year on Cover Lay Down under the title The Twelve Jews of Christmas: Folk Covers of Holiday Classics by Jewish Songwriters ; though for obvious reasons its interest is seasonal, it remains one of my most popular posts ever, and I'm happy to share it – and a bonus non-cover – here today. Enjoy! [...]
I'm always on the lookout for new music to check out. Our slogan here at TheFrontloader.com is, after all, "So much music… so little time…" That is so true. It is impossible for me to hear EVERYTHING that has been released. If I were to even try to attempt that, I would need [...]
