"A dulcet voice... A deep intelligence and fierce wit. She bares her soul but never in a gratuitously confessional manner."--San Diego Union Tribune
Bio / Background
This is Joanie Mendenhall's debut album, made in the summer of 2004. She set up shop in the garage and played a bunch of instruments - guitar, piano, drums, bass - and got some help from Exfriends members Ray Suen on violin, Pete Hamilton on upright bass, and Matt Curreri on drums.
Joanie is currently involved in three bands, The Low Standards, the Exfriends, and her own the joanie-men.
* San Diego Music Award Finalist for "Best Local Recording"
"A thoroughly charming debut that begs for repeated listens... From plinking piano lines on a Rhodes to the folksy tones of a fiddle, fuzzed-out guitar to jazz-inflected upright bass, her lo-fi compositions are rich with texture and rife with catchy melodies... A dulcet voice, pure in pitch and beautifully earnest... a deep intelligence and a fierce wit."--SAN DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE
"Her molasses tongue, shimmering neo-folk waltzes and heroic suffering will fascinate you.
