From the first line of 2007’s ‘Almost Lover,’ I knew I’d fall in love with A Fine Frenzy. Her 2nd album doesn’t disappoint, and surprisingly, it even raises the bar. Several songs seem to experiment with new sounds, and the result is enjoyable. ‘New Heights’ reminds me very much of School Of Seven Bells, and that is always a good thing. ‘Electric Twist’ sounds almost like an Emily Haines b-side, and again, that’s quite the high compliment from me. ‘Stood Up’ is very Eisley-esque. I ended up listening to this album the same day as the new Ingrid Michaelson album (look for a post on Ingrid next week), and I expected them both to sound very similar. But I was surprised by both…they are both very individualistic and both quite good.
