Mary Timony's back with a catchy new release (guitarist Brendan Canty of Fugazi @ production) taking the best of previous Ex Hex combo experience and Helium's Magic City: songs as Pause/Off, Pink Clouds, Killed by the Telephone, Summer's Fawn are total enlightened by Her majestic unorthodox guitar work [i read in an interview
She's now a full-time guitar teacher for 5-14yrs old kids - how cool!],
enriched by those original influences rooted into medieval ballads,
prog-splendour and - of course - indie: She takes the best from that,
She makes it Hers and finds Her magic through melancholic and seductive
vocals, melodies embracing a unique unmistakable songwriting whose She
made Her trademark: no matter the eponymous Band, - Her style, since Helium
to her solo releases is one more time solid and personal than ever, -
and in about 15 yrs of releasing records: that's attitude, my dear! -
Piano ballads (Window sweet sadness), unusual sonic pop (Pink Clouds
is pure guitar geometry elucubration mixed with Moog psychedelia),
false instrumental breaks, a continuous combination of abrasive
structures, precise drumming and lyrical amalgamation make of The Shapes We Make the album all Helium's fans were waiting for in years.
