about

With a voice tight with tension, as though straining against invisible bonds, Curran zeroes in on the anger and disappointment that so often accompany love. Wry, theatrical touches interspersed throughout the album ease the pressure of the grief that hangs over tearjerkers like "Bye, Bye Montreal," "Julia" and the unbearably wrenching "Mad World, Outlive Me." With impeccable timing, cabaret-inspired numbers like "The Company Store" and "The Dozens" shimmy in and elevate the album from its swamp of delicious anguish. Amongst the disc's many highlights are "The Mistress," which tells the story of a woman possessed, and the gently, rootsy but emotionally frayed "Wrecking Ball." Delicate musical embellishments come courtesy of piano, accordion, plucked banjo and the robust vocal harmonies of Newfoundland trio the Once. With several ECMA nominations under her belt already, most recently for 2006's acclaimed War Bride, Curran is sure to gather a few more kudos. The compelling melodies and thoughtful lyricism of this collection are best consumed with a pair of headphones and a tall glass of whiskey.
