One Cell in the Sea

The debut album from one-woman act A Fine Frenzy, Alison Sudol's precious pop is at its best when she's immersed in nature-inspired metaphors, perhaps because the photographic presentation gives the impression that she travels the country with a piano strapped on her back, trekking through fields and forests in flowing lace dresses, waiting for a stream or leaf or cloud to inspire her. With One Cell in the Sea, she provides any fan of the great outdoors an anthem in "Come On, Come Out" and compares herself to a rabbit fearing the hunt on album stand-out "Rangers." Sometimes the sentimentality overwhelms Sudol's dainty designs, such as when she cloyingly correlates herself with an apple on "You Picked Me," but much of Cell's bittersweet balladry is just too damn pretty to resist. Maybe all meadows should have flame-haired songstresses twirling about.
