The Hunter’s Lullaby (2007) by Raine Maida

Before I can even start this review, you need to check out the genres this album covers. Yes, that would be hip-hop there, your eyes are not deceiving you; just think of it as 80s hip-hop rather than the mess that calls that genre home today.

Piano-pop and myself have a love-hate relationship that I have yet to figure out, but was definitely brought up while I listened to A Fine Frenzy’s (aka Alison Sudol’s) debut One Cell in the Sea.

Combinations (2007) by Eisley

This may be Eisley’s second album, but it’s the first I’ve heard of theirs. I have to admit that I’m pleasantly surprised. This is a pretty strange analogy to make, but if you could bottle up folk rock, soft pop, and a dash of vaudeville, you’d have Combinations.
