Skirt by Dear Janes "Skirt"

a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell

Barbara Marsh and Ginny Clee are the Dear Janes. After the critically acclaimed "No Skin" they were dropped by a major label and came back with this album on their own label.

They still sound lovely and have penned ten emotionally charged songs.

"Drunk on Hallelujahs" is a fine example of their modern folk sound, with sweet vocal harmonies and an able musical backing. "Ship" was written with the great Syd Straw, it's a slow, hopeful song. The lead vocal is wonderfully expressive. It.s a little like the Indigo Girls.

"Too Much Girl" is a tough, spirited song and "Fix" sweetly chimes "I get a fix out of you".

"Skinning" is more electronic sounding than anything else on the record and it.s a welcome diversion.

The Dear Janes have returned, make a room for them in your heart and your record collection.
