Negative Positive
Title: Brilliant Debut
Review: Beth Thornley's first release is a smart, sharp hook-laden collection of fantastic indie-pop songs. She has been a songwriting award finalist multiple times, and desperately deserves a much wider audience. She recalls Liz Phair's musical edginess and Aimee Mann's unsparing lyrical eye. But those are merely resonances in what is a fresh and original voice. Buy this album: you'll be mulling over the lyrics and happily humming the tunes in your shower for months.
