Review by Performance Artist & Writer Kron Vollmer
(aka Mykronesia - http://www.drazium.com/kron)
She might be in choir robes, but rest assured, she's
smoking a cigarette. Jeanette Palmer's devilishly
charming debut cd, swimfish, demonstrates she's a
guitar-strumming Scheherazade, ready to show you the
beautiful surface and the scary underbelly. Each
track presents a complete story and aesthetic.
Whether it's a sardonic look at her hometown in "From
Camarillo", or the wiseass "Love or Hunger", Palmer's
lovely voice moves fluidly between innocence and
experience, both earnest and snide. You are sure to
find yourself a new theme song in the almost
Ramones-esque "I Want a Pill" with sly lyrics and
gleeful Violent Femmes kind of sing-a-longability.
Shades of Tom Waits and even The Cure thread their way through the atmospheric and triumphant echoes of
"Storm's Comin'", showing this chick with guitar's
theatrical range. If Palmer's "Looking for Trouble"
were in the ring with Sheryl Crowe's "All I Wanna
Do...", Palmer's quizzical discontent would K.O. Crowe
any day.
If you live in the New York area, you definitely want
to catch her live show.
