Album Name: I’m in Crinoline
Artist: Amy Kohn
Year/Label: 2006 / Independent
Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Amy Kohn plays piano and accordion on this her second album. She manages to instill her songs with a unique flavor. I can’t remember when I last heard something this special.
“1977 Swimming Lessons” is the sound of accessible freeform jazz, something they said could never be.
“Sweet Cacophony” continues the trend by being an experimental but still catchy track. I think the brilliant Amy X Neuburg has a kindred spirit at last. The quieter passages contrast with the rushing surges of ,yes, sweet cacophony.
“My Epoxied Rose” is wonderfully weird and sweet.
The title song is fabulously lovely and reminds me of Jane Siberry.
Amy Kohn is a special talent and she deserves a wide audience.
