quick take : Jessica Lea Mayfield : Tell Me

17 Mar 2011 · No Comments

An expansive approach to arranging makes for an engaging, varied listen. Mostly this is moody rock with lots of reverb-laden guitar and trace elements of folk and country, but it throws some nice curves: “Somewhere In Your Heart” has an unruly guitar break worthy of Giant Sand’s Howe Gelb at his skronkiest; “Grown Man” makes surprisingly good use of that ultra-cheap Casio keyboard sound. Mayfield’s vocals sound very assured, not too surprising since she’s apparently been in bands since she was eight or something crazy like that.
