A review of my first EP by T. Sedlak that appeared in s.a.m.p.l.e (Washington University), Fall 1996…

Ms. Frost, whomever she may be, gives us a lovely four-song debut, featuring only her voice with guitar accompaniment. Her demeanor strikes the right balance between sensitivity and mystery. "My God Insane" has a distant, eerie beauty that Patsy Cline and Opal (and their progeny) tapped in their haziest moments. Her gorgeously lilting melodies have a lightness of touch that, for me, evokes Donovan, particularly in "Evangeline," where a delicate, interwoven melody is at least twice as intricate as the usual singer-songwriter fare. "Waiting Room" ends things on a particularly enigmatic chord, with her double-tracked vocals playing foil to a ghostly carnival waltz, courtesy of an effective (and non-cheesy) casio.
