Title: Let This One Grow On You -- It's Beautiful.
Review: On the latest Trailer Bride release, Melissa Swingle leads her band on a midnight ride across a moonlit plain. Swingle is a talented multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who can spin a fine yarn ("Jesco"), break open a heart ("Bird Feet Feelings"), and paint an evocative picture ("Wilderness").Her appealing melodies are delivered in a unique country style, often with a cartoonish lilt to her voice - like she's shrugging off both the pain and humor in her lyrics. And it's perfectly hitched to some fine musicianship, well-produced but keeping some raw edges. Moody without being dirgy, High Seas makes you want to keep riding 'til the sun comes up.(A version of this review was published in Venus Zine.
