Artist: Jennifer Greer
Year/Label: 2002 / Little Athena Productions
Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Jennifer Greer’s first EP is very accomplished. Her songs are intriguing and her piano-playing adept.
“Sundial” is a gentle pop song with stunning harmonies from Greer.
“Vague” is not unlike early Tori Amos and it’s a good song.
“St. Giraffe” enquires “Why can’t you hear me? Do I have to do a birthday striptease?”. The song is fraught with tension and has some of Greer’s most expressive piano-playing.
“Like Rain” is a classy sounding ballad with great lyrics.
“Jewel Machine” is a promising first stop on what will hopefully be a long artistic journey.
