a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Stephanie Pakrul's debut is intense and unusually
layered music. She's not afraid of dark themes, in
fact she seems to seek them out.
"Daughter of Sam" is a seemingly whimsical song that
swiftly turns nasty. Its rapid changes of pace stirs a
sense of unease even as Pakrul sings sweetly.
"T.P.E" is a ballad with searing words of betrayal and
revenge.
"A Schoolgirl's Plea" visits the mind of a
precocious girl as she chats up a man.
"Nobody's Angel" is suitably angelic in its melody.
Pakrul's words speak of unangelic things of course.
The elegant guitar line frames her song beautifully.
"Anthem for the Perverted" lives up to its title and
then some. Its simple melody forms the backdrop for
Pakrul's confession. She acts the part of an
unrepentant sinner. "Come inside my dirty mind, you
might find you like it" she sings enticingly.
"Not a Victim" is dark and deep. And it just might be
your thing.
