A Fine Frenzy is the music of 21 year-old Alison Sudol. Born in Seattle to dramatic-arts teacher parents, Alison moved to Los Angeles at the age five. With her newly single mother, Alison moved frequently around the city. She developed a strong love for the fantastic literary worlds of CS Lewis, EB White, Lewis Carroll and Charles Dickens, while becoming a passionate author in her own right. Alison also immersed herself in classical music, Motown, Aretha Franklin, swing bands, Ella Fitzgerald, Elton John, Louis Armstrong, the Beatles, Technicolor movies and classic 1950's television. After teaching herself to play piano, Alison increasingly invested her internal narratives into song form. She found solace in the melodic melancholia of new global British bands Aqualung, Radiohead, Coldplay and Keane, etc... She was also moved by the diatonic minimalism of Philip Glass and the transportive allure of Icelandic music (Bjork, Sigur Ros.) Inspired, Alison developed the sound of A Fine Frenzy - hypnotic piano arrangements under classic American melody fused into irresistible, atmospheric songs with the power to reach around the world.

A sharp songsmith with a mind for high drama (and plenty of melodrama to match), Rufus Wainwright has carved out his own space in a contemporary pop world that rarely makes way for characters so conflicted and conventional. He’s weird in a lot of ways, but he’s also a singer from a mold of old, when pop stars played lounge clubs and mewled through standards over clinking drinks. Wainwright plays here behind Release The Stars, a new album as good as any he’s made before. The New Pornographers’ Neko Case provides main support, offering material from her five solid solo discs that veer toward moody folk and uplifting country. Opener A Fine Frenzy’s 22-year-old Alison Sudol—having just wrapped dates on VH1’s You Oughta Know Tour—joins the ranks of sensitive, piano-playing singer-songwriters currently ruling the radio with her debut One Cell In The Sea. www.theonion.com
