	<description><![CDATA[The poststructural feminists are going to have field day with this one. There's already been so much said on Jenny Hval, former alias Rockettothesky, that it requires some self-reflection of adding more unnecessary internet debris. I'll try to make this short and sweet. First off, "Viscera" -- the first effort released under her own name -- scares the shit outta me. Kicking off with a quirky avant-garde-like recitation, it dropkicks you like a welterweight champion of morbid genius. Heavyweights I'm referring to of course of dark siren goddesses and radical poets: Kate Bush, Siouxsie Sioux, Elisabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins, Patti Smith, Laura Nyro, etc. It's no wonder Ms. Hval wrote a Masters' thesis on Kate Bush, probably something as bad-ass as Lacanian readings on voice (think: Mladan Dolar's, "A Voice and Nothing More", MIT Press) or phonocentrism. Just as Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" was inspired by an Emily Brontë novel, Jenny Hval draws on strong literary influences. It takes special brains to not only extrapolate necessary understanding of one's music on paper, but be a decisive act/performance as well. And she certainly is.
An old music critic once told me you can tell everything about a band by reading their lyrics. Most of the time you do it reluctantly, with one-eye squeezed shut -- especially bands where English isn't their first language. It's painful to ingest the gaping vulnerability of text, so it's often treated it as a discardable or excess entity, sidelined by the "real" stuff. But here the music follows the imagery of the words, pieced together like limbs conjoined and changing; developing within itself, evolving, caving in, and even exploding ("Portrait of the young girl as an artist"). Jenny Hval exhibits beautiful harmonic development ("How gentle") but her songs never get so lost to return to a theme ("Blood flight"). It never so alienates it's listener should you understand it, and patience is rewarded abundantly.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Confusion reigned supreme during my multiple listens to Rockettothesky\'s CD \"To sing you apple Trees\". I honestly have a hard time making sense of a lot of what Jenny Hval throws at me. Maybe I just don\'t get \"it\": On the one hand, Ms. Hval\'s talent is evident in her ability to combine unique vocal styling with catchy melodies to create an air of fleeting, dreamlike fantasy. On the other hand, her failings are evident in her need to shake, almost jar the listener out of the dream state she\'s worked so hard to create. It seems as though she is hellbent on being her own worst enemy; I simply don\'t understand why. Nothing exemplifies my point better than the song \"A cute lovesong, please\". She uses her voice to excellent trancelike effect when she asks, \"When you think of me, do you masturbate?\"; then follows it up by confessing that \"I want you to know that you make me want to menstruate.\" Huh? Is menstruation a sexual response to you, Ms. Hval? Or do you want to menstruate out of disgust for your protagonist\'s sexual desire for you? Or maybe, just maybe, you tried so hard to rhyme, you succeeded in ruining what could have been a perfectly good song. Perhaps I\'m just being far too analytical. There are some decent songs on \"To sing you apple trees\" such as \"Cigars\", \"They are bastards!\" and the popular \"Barrie for Billy Mackenzie\" (even though I still don\'t know what the hell a \"Barrie\" is). But, the sad truth is, if I want to be entertained by a wacky Scandinavian, there\'s always Björk. Rockettothesky is simply going to have to do better than this.]]></description>

	<title>MP3: Rockettothesky - Barrie for Billy MacKenzie</title>

	<description><![CDATA[In her best moments, Rockettothesky sounds a touch unhinged, the kind of girl who probably gets labelled as crazy, but in reality is probably a heckuva lot of fun to be around. The opposite of prissy, I guess you could say - to the point where it might make the more conservative of us uncomfortable. Musically, she lets he voice spiral off into twittery territory far too often for my taste, but she keeps things nicely reined in on this particular track and it's really quite lovely. I'm not familiar with the work of Billy MacKenzie, so I assume that I'm missing out on a significant portion of the lyrics, though I am definitely curious the more I read into it. Anyone have any recommendations of where to start?]]></description>
