interpreting the songs of these and many more controversial greats on Tainted Love: Mating Calls and Fight Songs. In the words of lead singer/headmistress Ambrosia Parsley, "Rock and Roll may save your soul, but a good man is truly hard to find." Shivaree's twisted, biting cabaret pop has been featured everywhere from Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill to Air America Radio (who employed Parsley to encapsulate each week's news in song form).

bedrock of this collaboration, focused and drawn to a series of subtle points by Shimmy-Disc founder Kramer's production genius. Although remembrances of Neu and Joy Division will pepper the listener's experience upon first listen, the graphic sound-poems found on Rope, Inc.'s haunting debut full-length find a haunting originality in both voice and production. With Menovcik recording his electric piano, vocals, and loops in Seattle and Kramer adding arrangements, instrumentation, and some of his most stunning guitar work in Florida, Songs of Love & War will keep the listener's attention long past bedtime.  (less)

If you have a special animal friend or companion, play them this song. Their response may surprise you! And as you listen, send this song out from your heart, to embrace every single creature in the animal kingdom. "Lia's gloriously ...  (less)

diamond-cut phrasing and a slight tinge of melancholy. She's a gem." (Phladelphia Inquirer) "Like Norma Winstone -- whose lyrics for Jimmy Rowles' "The Peacocks" she uses here - Souter understands what is needed to deliver a song .... Souter's singing style feels natural and organic -- her rich, dark voice combines with her ability to see the shape of a tune and so the words seem to come from her soul."
