ORION RIGEL DOMMISSE
What I Want From You Is Sweet
CD
More Greg Weeks-curated Language Of Stone action, this time from Baltimore's Orion Rigel Dommisse, who - if her MySpace profile photo is to be believed - enjoys frolicking about in the woods dressed like she's just been dreamt up by Louisa May Alcott. No surprise then to discover that Fern Knight's Margie Wienk, Jessie Sparhawk and inevitably Weeks himself are all on-hand for some costume folk fun and games. This whole scene would get old really fast were it not for the fact that there's still plenty of notable music coming out of it, and Miss Dommisse is to be counted among the artists in the genre who still have something of merit to add to the great freak folk canon. The jaunty baroque woodland dynamics of 'Alice And Sarah' benefits from some trilling electronic jiggery-pokery, on top of the more run-of-the-mill configuration of strings and kooky vocal. Likewise, the sinister, abandoned fairground vibes of 'Drink Yourself (To Death)' sound splendid with a backdrop of floating synthesizers.
