With all the dismantling of worker-benefits here at girlpants, evil cigar-chomping mogul Ben came in and told me I had to write something, then laughed until his belly shook. Have you ever seen a corpulent CEO try and fit into girlpants? Strangely sublime.
So, onwards.
Autumn Shade, aside from being the best-worst fictitious Jade Tree emo band name EVER (debut album title: Falling For You), is the cri de coeur of Jes Lenee, lapsed piano prodigy and lovely goth-waif songbird.
While Niina would probably be all over this album like black on nails, it’s a little ponderous for my taste. The first (full) song kills, however. With a brisk acoustic gait under wintry piano, ‘Shade’s ghost-child voice mourns and moans with impressive range. Basically, this is what Chris Issac’s Wicked Games would sound like had it been written by someone with miles to go before they sleep. “Home, I don’t want to go home. But I’m not going back, even if it kills me.” I can relate.
