Alice Cohen At Juno Download

Review: Since she first started working as a songwriter in the early 1980s, Alice Cohen has enjoyed a varied career, appearing in odd rock bands, crafting tracks for Martin Scorsese films and producing experimental, off-kilter rock and pop. Amazingly, she also wrong Karen Young's "Detour", one of the oddest (and perversely most celebrated) boogie records of the early '80s. Pink Keys, Cohen's first solo set for three years, finds her in fine form, adding her curious vocals to a range of glistening, synth-heavy instrumentals that largely steer clear of heavy beats in favour of something altogether more fragile. Highly recommended.
