 Daemon
is excited to offer up this CD. Jenny is one to admire - a
jack of all trades in the music world. In the 90’s she
started one of the most influential artist-owned labels, Simple
Machines, while also releasing four albums with her band Tsunami.
She’s a regular at Insound.com giving her advise on making
music and is currently the executive director for the Future
of Music Coalition which explores and lobbies for artists
rights.
Somehow
she’s found time to record a two disc cd! Antidote was
recorded in two different sessions - one in Chicago and one
in Nashville - and so named are the discs. A full band cd with
long-time collaborator, cellist/bassist Amy Domingues (I saw
her at a show and she rocks!) and numerous other impressive
artists, these songs border on country and pop. The lush instrumentation
and vivid lyrics take you right where she wants you and with
few apologies. Most of these tracks deal with relationships
and all that it brings - from communication in "Word Traffic" (He
had more records than words / so he played them when we’re
alone instead of speaking) to gently dumping your mate
in "Clear Cut" (did anyone tell you you were short
on sharing / long winded overbearing). Add this with a
gorgeous voice and you have a record that discloses a bit of
her vulnerable side but that is always perceptive and honest.
