ASHLEIGH FLYNN
Chokecherry (Home Perm Records)

Reviewed by Holly Day



Nice, kind of funky collection of pop music fronted by vocalist/guitarist Ashleigh Flynn. Flynn's voice works well with all these songs, and she sings like someone definitely aware of her vocal limitations and stays right where she sounds best, all the time, sounding like a comfortable cross between Suzanne Vega and Liz Phair. The music is an interesting collection of acoustic folk, danceable techno, and poppy, nightclub-style jazz, making for an eclectic album that stretches itself stylewise but still sounds like a complete album and not a collection of mismatched singles.
