Album Description
Available in:
One Cell in the Sea es el primer álbum de estudio de A Fine Frenzy, el nombre artístico de la cantante y compositora estadounidense Alison Sudol, lanzado bajo Virgin Records el 17 de julio de 2007. El álbum debutó en el #158 en el Billboard 200 y más tarde alcanzó el puesto #91.
Sudol hizo una cinta demo que consistía en canciones de One Cell in the Sea, que finalmente cayó en manos del CEO de Virgin Records. Después de escuchar la cinta, el CEO voló a la casa de la madre de Sudol en Los Ángeles para escuchar su obra. Según Sudol, respondió más positivamente a "Rangers", una canción que ella considera "oscura y extraña", por lo que encontró que la etiqueta era comprensiva.
El título del álbum proviene de una letra en "The Minnow and the Trout" porque Sudol sintió la frase "resumió todo". Durante una entrevista de marzo de 2008 con The Ledger, declaró lo siguiente del título:
Es el comienzo de algo, es la soledad que sentí cuando estaba haciendo este álbum, porque gran parte de la escritura del mismo se hizo a altas horas de la noche cuando todos los demás estaban haciendo lo suyo. No hubiera querido salir, pero era una sensación de que todos eran otra persona, y estás solo. Y también es la unidad que todos tenemos de las emociones humanas básicas y todos venimos de algún lugar, por lo que todos estamos conectados. Y así es como uní todo.
User Album Review
A Fine Frenzy is not really a band, but one very talented 22-year-old named Alison Sudol. Her debut album, One Cell in the Sea is haunting, delicate, lyrical, atmospheric, and moving. I had better stop with all the adjectives.
Born in Seattle, raised in Los Angeles, Sudol graduated high school at 16 and immediately started a band. At 18 she struck out on her own. Rather than hit up the infamous L.A. club scene, Sudol secreted herself away in her living room with her music. When Virgin Records CEO Jason Flom came to see - and eventually sign - A Fine Frenzy, it was in that very living room. Her mother even baked cookies. Sudol's influences are obviously varied: Elton John, Ella Fitzgerald, Philip Glass, and Radiohead are just a few. Literature also figures heavily into her music. "In Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass, from one moment to the next you don't know where you are, but at the end it all makes sense," says Sudol of one of her favorite authors. "You can be in the strangest situation, but it seems normal. I love incorporating that sort of twisted logic into my writing." The name A Fine Frenzy was even drawn from a line in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
The first single, "Almost Lover" is soulful and sad. The loneliness and despair comes across plainly in this simple piano song. An interesting choice for a single, "Almost Lover" is much more of a "downer" than most singles. But downer in a good way, a very good way. Sudol picks things up with the next track, the far lighter "Think of You." It doesn't have that same emotional connect as "Almost Lover" and some of the simpler songs, but Alison's beautiful voice - feminine without being whiny - comes through confident and strong. A better example of an "upbeat" song is "Liar, Liar" which allows Alison's voice to soar and remain emotional throughout the maritime tune.
One Cell in the Sea is a strong debut from a very talent young musician. She goes beyond the "girl and her piano" pigeonhole. Not as angry as Apple, not as girlie as McLachlan, and not as nutty as Amos, A Fine Frenzy is beautiful music, solid lyrics, and a strong voice to tie it all together.
