Wendy McNeill - For the Wolf a Good Meal

As John F posted on the Suggestives page:
“Her latest album, ‘For the Wolf a Good Meal’ is quite wonderful!”

A succinct and totally accurate statement.

Ohbijou - Metal Meets

New to me, this is their third release. An album that bubbles along in the background. Most pleasant. Could do with some more balls added.

Ingrid Michaelson - Human Again

A little overproduced? Maybe. It’s certainly a big change for Ingrid.
It needs a few more plays for me I think.

Gemma Hayes - Let It Break

Another solid release from Irish Gemma. Not sure about some of the tinny electronic beats, but heh.
You can check out snippets from all the album tracks over on her website.

Hope Waits - Introducing Hope Waits

There is something timeless about Hopes vocals. Her debut is not ground breaking, but shows promise. Looking forward to her number two offering to see where she takes it.

Gin Wigmore - Gravel & Wine

New Zealander Virginia Claire Wigmore cranks it out on her second full release.
Her 2010 debut Holy Smoke is equally as punchy.
