ALBUM REVIEWS
NEW SOUNDS: JESSICA HEINE
Eden Munro / eden@vueweekly.com

Local songstress Jessica Heine opens her new record up with a song that is a soft and gentle folk tune at its heart, dressed up with just the right amount of decorations—nothing too extravagant, it's a steady drum beat with an occasional tap on a cymbal, a bass that sings quietly behind Heine's lovely voice and an electric guitar that sticks with a minimum of notes to get its point across. The approach remains the same throughout the album—play no more than the song calls for—but the sound does not, touching on a dirty blues riff in "Ladies of the Bible," cabaret stylings in "Juliet and the Knife Thrower" and an escalating junkyard rattle on "That's All."
