Sketchy review from Minneapolis
Tuesday November 17, 1998 – 5:01 pmA review by Jon Dolan that appeared in the City Pages (Minneapolis, MN)…
Not quite as poetic as she wants to be, Edith Frost is kind of like a Sandy Denny for the Chicago post-rock crew. On country-noise records like the just-out Telescopic, she writes dim melodies that threaten to turn into 150-watt folk-pop tunes. And on tunes like 1997’s lovely ballad "Too Happy," Frost drowns her sad, sketchy lyrics in a kind voice that ought to communicate in complete sentences.
