Album Name: Micromania
Artist: Corkskrew
Year/Label: 2003 / Fretbuzz Ltd
Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Corkskrew hail from Malta, but they don’t sound like it. Their sound is a lot like Garbage’s. The smooth voice of Diane Micallef suits their music fine.
“Another Day” might have wandered off Garbage’s latest album. It’s that catchy and dark all at once. Diane Micallef has the right rock siren delivery too.
“Pop Lolly” is quirky and sonically aggressive.
“Simple Intent” is a sweet ballad that shows the tenderness of Micallef’s voice and the bands gift for arranging songs.
“On My Mind” is a lovely pop song with a plaintive feel.
All in all “Micromania” is a promising debut from a gifted band.
