• A Fine Frenzy - Now Is The Start

"I needed to just change everything, I needed this to be a clean slate," says Alison Sudol, the L.A. based songstress also known as A Fine Frenzy . For Sudol, "everything" meant her approach to songwriting, the scope of her musical vision and -- an important element to her fanbase -- the color of her hair. Still, we'd be hardpressed to imagine a more dramatic turn than the one embraced on her third album Pines (October 16, CD; Virgin). The sleek and supple melodic piano pop of Sudol's earlier works has been supplanted [...]

A Fine Frenzy is Alison Sudol, and yes, she’s just as adorable as you might think. She’s a self-professed lover of nature, poetry, fluffy animals, and - get this- has just revealed that she’s currently penning a children’s fantasy adventure book called Three Sails and the Family Moss . But, let’s not forget, when she's not busy getting dressed in the morning with the help of chirping blue birds, Sudol is still a musician. Pines is her third and latest release, and while it's everything you'd already expect from A Fine Frenzy, the album also holds a [...]

Each week iTunes finds a track from an artist or a band they've been enjoying and bring it to you, for free, as their Single of the Week. Those familiar with Alison Sudol, A Fine Frenzy , know her penchant for savvy reinvention - from the piano-driven ballads of her debut to the luminous alt rock of Bomb In A Birdcage. Sudol's growth couldn't be more evident on the confident, synth-soaked strut of "Now Is The Start," which opens with a stack of overdubbed vocals demanding, "Hey, do you hear that sound?" Don't worry, Alison: We [...]

Alison Sudol, A Fine Frenzy 's driving creative force, has a Tumblr. The online blog is filled with Mary Oliver poems, adorable animals that pretty much always require an, "Aww", and photos of lush forests filled with-as you  might have guessed-pines. It's an incredibly appropriate accompaniment to this 13-track  album, recorded during a rainy week before Christmas in Los Angeles. Pines is a double-edged walk through the woods, with parts of the record playing with forest-inspired imagery while the other fragments draw on the literal meaning of what it means to pine. The former [...]

Delilah impressed us with her debut single "Love You So." This is yet another single. We think she needs a robust number (that's not a ballad) to launch her career. She has the voice, the looks and the talent. All that can propel her is a great track. Perhaps she should do a cover and make it her own like Florence + The Machine did. We would suggest Esther Phillips' version of "What A Difference A Day Makes." Related articles Alive: "Inside My Love" [...]
