Lonely Drifter Karen - Fall of Spring

Review by Paul Clarke

Lonely Drifter Karen have toured all over the continent in the last two years, yet seem to have picked up nothing new apart from a supposed newfound penchant for ‘rocking out’. That means there’s now a bit of electric guitar, though it still makes Norah Jones sound like Lydia Lunch.»

this marks a hugely confident step forward, revealing the flourishing fruits of tanja frinta, marc melia sobrevias and giorgio menossi writing, playing and recording as a trio after the slightly more singer/songwriter feel of their sparkling debut 'grass is singing'. it's a work of beautiful light and shade, of seasonal drifts and colourful contrasts, with the band's already broad musical palette enriched by brass/woodwind arrangements, tremolo-soaked electric guitars, pedal steel, inventive percussive textures and a thrilling new-found taste for rocking out!
