a Review by Sarah Bernardi
Meet Rasputina, one of the most unique and creative bands that I've come
across. Often described as "Cello Rock", Rasputina have been creating and
building on their own unique sound for quite some time.
Their latest release, "Frustration Plantation" is nothing short of amazing.
It's 15 songs (stories) entertain and captivate the listener with Melora
Creager's excellent voice and honest storytelling. Both Melora Creager and
Zoe Keating lend their cello talents beautifully to this album. Songs that
stuck me and became fast favorites include "High On Life", "The Mayor",
"Possum of The Grotto", and "When I Was a Young Girl". Frustration
Plantation has been said to be a departure from their "Goth" sound in the
past, whether or not that's true, this is an excellent, varied album with
many great songs.
Rasputina's fans will be nothing but pleased, and for those unfamiliar with
Rasputina's musical legacy, "Frustration Plantation" is a great place to
start.
