I just received a copy of A Fine Frenzy’s debut album, and it rocks!
I get ALOT of CD’s because of the site. Most of it I don’t care for, but I’m telling ya, this CD ROCKS! A Fine Frenzy’s debut album “One Cell In The Sea” is amazing. It’s totally my kind of music! I really, really like this CD. I think you guys should really check it out – watch the video.
And another reason to love her? She’s opening for my OTHER favorite, Brandi Carlile this fall on VH1’s “You Oughta Know” Tour. Check them out!

“A Fine Frenzy is a blend of sounds and influences. Where there’s Ella, Aretha and Louis, there’s also Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Aqualung and Keane” HARP Magazine
A Fine Frenzy is the music of 22 year-old Alison Sudol.
Born in Seattle to dramatic-arts teacher parents, Alison moved to Los Angeles at the age five. With her newly single mother, Alison moved frequently around the city. She developed a strong love for the fantastic literary worlds of CS Lewis, EB White, Lewis Carroll and Charles Dickens, while becoming a passionate author in her own right.
Alison also immersed herself in classical music, Motown, Aretha Franklin, swing bands, Ella Fitzgerald, Elton John, Louis Armstrong, the Beatles, Technicolor movies and classic 1950’s television.
After teaching herself to play piano, Alison increasingly invested her internal narratives into song form. She found solace in the melodic melancholia of new global British bands Aqualung, Radiohead, Coldplay and Keane, etc… She was also moved by the diatonic minimalism of Philip Glass and the transportive allure of Icelandic music (Bjork, Sigur Ros.) Inspired, Alison developed the sound of A Fine Frenzy – hypnotic piano arrangements under classic American melody fused into irresistible, atmospheric songs with the power to reach around the world.

Thank you for putting this up on your site. I had never heard of her but after listening to almost lover on your site I looked up her myspace. The album sounds amazing, I hope it becomes available in the UK.

This is the first time I’ve heard of her, surprisingly. I love her voice, and her look, and the lyrics. She has great taste. I’ll make sure to check her out. Thank you for introducing her to most of us.
