Album Notes

Doll Hospital is the vaguely malformed brainchild of downtown N.Y.C. music-scene mainstay Heather Eatman. Featuring Heather on arch-top guitar and vocals, Nick Mancini on vibraphone, Andrew Burns on drums and Jim Whitney on string bass, this tiny wayward orchestra takes us on a swinging tour of the fevered mind of a songwriter who loves Raymond Chandler as much as Raymond Scott. A surrealistic biscuit-baker and an alcoholic wife throwing an unsuccessful dinner party are only two of the more colorful characters who populate these whimsical noir ditties – taking us back to a time that never was, but perhaps should have been.
