"Late Bloom" by Mavis Piggott.

Photobucket
This is an E.P. boasting 6 songs that fall somewhere between Grunge and Indie Rock. Mavis' vocals are without a doubt quite Indie, and there are some interesting guitar ideas at work, but the big problem with this record is that the production is raw to a fault. Everything sounds unmixed in general and it really holds the record back in a big way. You're basically just hearing all the same instruments with all the same settings running through six song ideas. One might think that this simply constitutes a "style" of sorts, but I really think it would have behooved the artist to at least experiment with some textures to help enhance the songs' individual strengths. All in all this record just wasn't really my scene, but I heard some potential.
