"...moody guitars, stripped-back percussion all serve as a backdrop for Olivia's cutting lyrics and vocals... there's a film-noir quality and beauty to the composition and arrangements - of subdued lighting, sodium-lit foggy streets and shadows..."

lyrics
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise
I stand before the wreck of wood and lumber. Given a slip to my secret number
How fast can you work? Perform under pressure? Just writing down notes so don’t
be late to the lecture. Looking through the past so I can shed a little light on the
value of our loyal boys and sacrilegious bite
And every little thing that I always knew
I’m damned and slammed if you think that I’m through
I’m so worn out, I have been aching
And filled with doubt from all the faking
All that I am is a wall full of dust, not making a plan when I know that I must.
Washing the doors, illusions go on and there’s nothing you can say when I am gone
And every little thing that I always knew
I’m damned and slammed if you think that I’m through
I’m so worn out, I have been aching
And filled with doubt from all the faking (x2)

I actually have the hard copy I bought at the recent release party at Hotel Cafe. I have been a fan for 5 years. I needed a digital copy because a Microsoft update destroyed my CD/DVD drive functionality on my desktop. Anyway, G.M. just keeps getting better and better. Equally haunting and beautiful. A smidge of Blossom Dearie channeled through Edith Piaf but contemporary at the same time. Honeymoon is my favorite track. dali141965
Gonzo. Passion. The Ming Vase. Haunting and beautiful. Every listen brings a new favorite.
Do something like this again, Miss Emma. Please let the answer be yes. Please let the answer be yes! alien9
The title is an attention-getter to be sure, but this collection of trippy psych-pop more than earns it with its wavy, acid-laced melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 17, 2021
