Les Sampou's new release is a roots-to-rock eclectic span of musical styles. This album of 10 songs is a departure from her previous (Americana) Flying Fish release, bringing a more mainstream edge into her lyrics and melodies. On this dark, yet optimistic, album, Les has been compared to Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders, the Indigo Girls, and Alanis Morissette -- her lyrics reveal unflinching honesty and are insightful, witty and personally revealing while being simultaneously universal. A pro at quick turns of phrase, upon repeated listenings this album provides a poetry of deeper meaning.
