Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell

Randi Russo’s debut offers intelligently nervy rock. Russo’s voice has a few shades of Patti Smith and her songwriting is equally poetic but raw.

“Adored” is edgy and tuneful with some great vaguely eastern sounding guitar parts.

“League of the Brigands” is a fairly straightforward pop song that’s elevated by Russo’s confident delivery. “Push-Pull” is folk-influenced and hauntingly lovely.

“Solar Bipolar” is an inspired debut that should appeal to fans of the aforementioned Patti Smith and PJ Harvey.
