CD Reissue of the 1991 classic cd of eclectic performance art. Includes the hit single and video for "The Sweater"
Editorial review
Sort of a cross between Laurie Anderson (the ironic, winking spoken word pieces) and Jane Siberry (the ethereal, delicate art pop songs), with just a little of her friends the Barenaked Ladies thrown in (Cadell started in the same Toronto music-and-comedy scene, and bassist Jim Creeggan plays on this album), Meryn Cadell is part confessional poet, part humorist, and part songstress. The most effective pieces on this, her 1992 debut album, are the spoken word entries, in which Cadell muses on topics focusing on ironic fantasies lifted from bra advertisements ("Maidenform") and toys ("Barbie"). The songs aren't quite as effective, as Cadell's much more effective with words than music, both as a writer and as a performer, but they're pleasant enough. The album's highlight -- indeed, probably the high point of Cadell's career -- is "The Sweater," a tale of junior high dreams and humiliation that's almost painful to listen to but also endearingly hilarious. [The 2007 reissue features four bonus tracks.] ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
ENHANCED CD: Includes the video for "The Sweater"
• CD Re-issue now includes FULL LYRICS
• "The Sweater" was a Top 40 Modern Rock hit
• Cult CD has been out of print for many years
• At time of original release, over 10,000 requests lit up the switchboard at Z-100, New York, for "The Sweater"
Originally released in 1991 and propelled by the Top 40 Modern Rock hit, "The Sweater", this album is a ground-breaking tour de force of retro 60s mod grooves, torch songs, comedic vignettes, and indie rock eclecticism.
Featuring a who's who of Canadian indie (at the time) musicians; Bob Wiseman (Blue Rodeo), Jim Creeggan (Barenaked Ladies), Tim Vesely & Dave Clark (Rheostatics), John Tucker (Land Of Giants), and the electronic grooves of Tom Third; this was a highly influential debut and a mainstay of early 90s college radio. This re-issue includes 3 bonus tracks, the complete lyrics, and the video for "The Sweater".
This CD has been out of print for many years.
