Annette Farrington review

Imagine if Kate Bush decided to go post-industrial. Annette Farrington combines densely-populated music and lyrics to create a stirring set of almost orchestral pieces. Everything builds from the electronic drum and bass-driven rhythms. Whether it's her strong-yet-ethereal vocals or the wide variety of sounds that are gathered together, each element ties itself to the low end.And the overall production sound is lush yet sharp. Full, but with enough space to allow a wide variety of sounds to color the songs. A real nice balance, if you ask me. The engineering is just as well thought out as every other element. What I'm really trying to say is that Farrington and producer Anthony J. Resta have created a truly fine album. It's really hard to properly represent a wide variety of ideas (both musical and lyrical), but that's exactly what happened here. First class.
