Synopsis

Album Description

Post-punk, psychedelic, indie-rock. Sonic, electric heat can be felt on tracks like "Adored" and "Lucy's Plan", while cool, sparse moments creep into "Possession" and "Sacred Silence" -- all mixed with the warmth of songs like "Push-Pull" and "Wonderland." Russo's music is enchantingly dark, driving, hypnotic and deep. The Village Voice has said that 'Solar Bipolar' showcases "her own unique sound from what's left of the Velvet Underground's legacy..." These 12 tracks are a scrumptous taste of what this prolific songwriter has to offer.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Solar Bipolar is one of the most eclectic rock albums I've heard in a while. Russo sings with a unique voice that is intense and powerful, yet can be vulnerable at the same time. Emotional catharsis is at it's best on songs like "Adored" and "Dead Citizen." "Push-Pull" is great songwriting mixed with interesting instrumentation. Often, Russo is compared to early Sonic Youth and Patti Smith, but those chords and riffs she plays are something that is fresh and new. This album is sonically exciting, intellectually engaging, and emotionally gripping. The tracks vary from quiet ambiance to loud and stirring. Either way, the 12 tracks on Solar Bipolar make a great album. She challenges the engaged listener to see that loud rockers are not just angry songs (if you listen to her lyrics, you'll hear an urgency, but not anger). The music and lyrics are somewhat complex, but yet touch upon something so simple and universal. Get this album if you like good underground rock."
