a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Miki Huber makes intimate-sounding, clever songs and sings them in a hushed voice. I thought of early Suzanne Vega while hearing this.
"The Hollywood Song" is a gem with a sad tale at the centre. "We're all soul benders in Hollywood", she sings poignantly.
"Trees" is like Cat Power. Huber plays the guitar beautifully here.
"Through The Window" uses Baird Duthie's violin to flesh out the stripped-down sound. The songs melancholy mood is brought out in a subtle way.
"I Will Haunt Your Room" is a cover of a song by English songwriter Martin Newell. I'm not familiar with the original but Huber's version shines. It's quirky and lovely.
So this brief album ends and I hope she makes another just like it, only longer.
Till then this is just great.
