Album Notes

Amanda Garrigues' sophmore effort is a much-anticipated release throughout the Southeast.

"Groundswell", released on Average Sinner Records, exposes a new brand of songwriting--one that is stronger, riskier and more focused. Garrigues teams up again with heavy hitters of My Friend Steve Fame: David McMahon, Eric Steinberg and newbie Eric Gardner.

In this sophmore release you'll find this self-proclaimed "word-girl" mixing her college influences (Sundays, Cocteau Twins) with traditional hymns she heard as child. Songs like "By My Scars" and "Blackfisted" and "I Cannot Be Brave" will move you without being overly sentimental.

Overall, you'll find that the music on "Groundswell" gives you tension with the right amount of release. This album is excellent - more because of what it avoids than what it does.

What Needs To Be Heard

I cant recall being so impressed with the first two versus of song never before heard...until Blue. Amanda Garrigues speaks in the language every girl needs to hear. Every word is felt rather than heard, because as creatures we are all basically alike....I cant think of any woman that couldnt relate to I Cannot Be Brave & Recovery at some point.

an amazing must-have album of great folk-influenced songwriting, like the Sundays meet Gillian Welch, perhaps?
