The Bird and the Bee seem like yet another artsy duo attempting to find success in the indie pop field with their second album Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future; even the title of their album is appropriately off-beat to fit that image.

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.

Tidal (1996) by Fiona Apple

I’ve mentioned before that my musical education pop began in 1997. Well, I still remember the single “Criminal” from that time as one of the songs that really shaped my musical tastes, and my recent ‘rediscovery’ of this album only makes me appreciate Fiona Apple that much more.
