Title: Surpassing Expectations
Review: Little snippets that I had heard of ShoSho in the past lead me to think that I would be getting an album full of sweetly twinkling, delicate melodies and musings. They're good at that, no doubt, (such as in "Song for You") but I was delighted also to be surprised by the drive and verve of "Ethereal Chick" -- as its lyrics suggest, it "blew me away." Likewise, "Maybe," "Jacob's Dream," and "In-Between" have some good, strong teeth to them; they make ShoSho difficult to dismiss as such "that female folk group." Instead, they offer variety, depth, and straightforward enjoyment. I recommend them highly.
