A red haired, piercingly green eyed siren helms the band known as A Fine Frenzy. Allison Sudol is said siren. Strikingly beautiful, she’d make just about anyone swoon with a brief fleeting gaze. Fortunately, Sudol is not a one trick pony. Her vertigo inducing appearance is matched by powerful pipes and a poignant musical sensibility that just may elevate Allison and the rest of her fine frenzy into public consciousness.
One Cell In The Sea is an auspicious debut filled with tracks that move, engage, and haunt. "Almost Lover" is one such track that just about breaks your heart from the get go with the somber wailings of a piano only to be followed by 22-year old Allison mourning an "almost lover" who provided only a brief, fleeting taste of love only to have it dashed. Sudol reflects painfully on the seemingly inescapable pain of love unrequited. "Almost Lover" hurts in a way that is familiar to just about anyone.
The melancholy continues in the aptly titled "Hope for the Hopeless". This one could likely become an anthem for anyone who’s had life crap on them. In other words, there’s hope for all of us. Allison’s powerful vocals complement lyrics that are moving and memorable: "...running against the wind, playing the cards you get, something is bound to give." For those who have had a rough go of things, "Hope for the Hopeles".
