Throwback: A Fine Frenzy

I've decided I'm going to do a few throwbacks on this blog. Basically pieces that I've written for 13itches or other sites in the past that are still cool in my book - whether it be the content itself or the writing. Sometimes when I write, the words just flow and I read it back and think, 'wow, where did that come from?' hehe
Anyways here's my first throwback:

A Fine Frenzy

It seems these days music is cool until everybody “discovers” them.

When that happens, they’ve either “sold out” or become too “hipster”.

I’ve been listening to the music of 22-year-old Allison Sudol. To most, that name won’t ring a bell. But to some, the pseudonym she uses, A Fine Frenzy, just might.

Listing her inspirations and influences from a wide range of artists such as Radiohead, Aqualung, Coldplay, Bjork, Sigur Ros and the like, her sound has been described as ‘hypnotic piano arrangements under classic American melodies’.

Hailing from Seattle, Sudol is a self-taught pianist and definitely one of the better singer-songwriters to look out for.

Check out the official video of a song that’s (still) high on rotation on my ipod – Almost Lover:

Peace out.
