Below is a description of "Bachelor of Apathy."
Bachelor of Apathy (1998)
This album will most likely appeal to fans of Rickie Lee Jones, Fiona Apple, and Tori Amos. Recorded in Los Angeles with a full band, the instrumentation on this album consists of electric and acoustic bass, electric and acoustic guitars, drums, piano, lead and background vocals. The genres range from pop/rock to funk to saucy jazz numbers and poignant ballads, highlighting Krüger's sophisticated piano work.

What Kristy says about the title:
I wrote all these songs when I was in college at the University of Southern California. It was toward the end of my senior year when we were recording the album and let's just say the senioritis was setting in. I named it "Bachelor of Apathy" as a mockery of the Bachelor's degree I had been working at for four years. It seemed to tie all the songs together and sum up how I felt about the world of academia at that time in my life.
Word from the press & people:
"Her vocals recall such modern luminaries as the jazz diva Diana Krall, the same DIY-itiveness and alterna-folk of Ani DiFranco and the sultry swing of Save Ferris' Monique Powell. Kristy's the Rickie Lee Jones of the 20somethings. If that's not a scorching hot concoction, I'm stumped as to what is."
