Mistress Stephanie & Her Melodic Cat: New Mp3s

Likening a band to The Dresden Dolls, Marlene Deitrich, and The Cramps is one way to ensure I'll listen to their music. Unfortunately, Mistress Stephanie & Her Melodic Cat don't live up to such a lofty comparisons. Still, I do like their songs. Their rough, quasi punk but mostly cabaret sound is more like Camille...

Luminescent Orchestrii: Neptune's Daughter

I've waited in eager anticipation for new music by Luminescent Orchestrii, and Neptune's Daughter will finally be released on January 20th! Since I reviewed the band's previous album Too Hot To Sleep two years ago, they have signed to Nile Mile Records - also home to The Zydepunks. I was first introduced to the music...

Sophe Lux: Waking The Mystics

Sophe Lux is Wendy Haynes and her band of eclectic musicians. Their multifarious sound blends the sinister theatrics of Diamanda Galas, Gabriela Kulka and Vermillion Lies, the spectral quirkiness of Kate Bush, Tori Amos, and Hannah Fury, the smoother strange-pop style of Charlotte Martin, Universal Hall Pass, and A Fine Frenzy, and a vast array...

Camille O’Sullvan: A Little Yearning

Camille's studio album A Little Yearning is much gentler in tone than her amazingly fierce live set La Fille Du Cirque: Live At The Famous Spiegeltent Melbourne. This time the focus is squarely on Camille's melodic cabaret side, though she still covers Nick Cave and Tom Waits - as well as Sweet and Kurt Weill.The...

Camille O’Sullivan: La Fille Du Cirque Live CD

If La Fille Du Cirque: Live At The Famous Spiegeltent Melbourne is any indication, Camille O'Sullivan gives truly incredible and unique live performances. Her music is a staggering concoction of whooping burlesque jazz, surging heartfelt torch songs, and a darker, often menacing narrative style that does Tom Waits and Nick Cave - both of whom...
