Album Notes

"Something's gone beautifully AwRY. Awry's frontwoman, Shara Worden, can do many things. Imagine a woman with a degree in Opera, accompanying herself with either her crunchy sounding Telecaster guitar, or her vibey Fender Rhodes. Her voice reminds you of a ranting Yma Sumac rocking as hard as Ms. PJ Harvey with a slight touch of Bjork's otherworldly funkiness."
-Digital City, Dave Hill

"Quiet B Sides", an intimate project recorded in a mere 3 days, showcases AwRY's experimental guitar work & "first take" emotion. Electric guitar sounds are generated by thimbles & pencil slides while wurlizer, tabla, toy microphone, air organ & autoharp make understated appearances. Shara's vocals transport with transparent playfulness & beauty as she pushes the limits of her voice through tears & giggles. Though its a brief dip into softer sounds, AwRY still manages to push the dark forest edges of popular music.

Hint: Night time. "Quiet B Sides" is the record for you if you need a peaceful place before sleeping.

Hint: Daytime. If you are looking for AwRY's full band sound then check out the "Untitled" release from February 2001 (See the left hand panel in Other CDs or in the Gallery section).
