It’s not a bad idea, but I can’t help but think Catherine Anderson is a privileged Gen Y’er who wanted to make a pop rock album. “Lifeguard” has a melody and chords I’ve heard countless times in the ’90s and ’00s.
Murmurs fans will appreciate “Morning.” The lyrics aren’t as clever, but again, you should just be happy that we have more of this type of music out there. There’s even a token song with swearing in it.
The thoughtful song is “White Noise.” Nobody did the thoughtful song better than Veruca Salt (“Sound of the Bell”), but this ranks right up there. The only other song I’d recommend on here is “Beg.” It’s like a downgrade to Fiona Apple, you could say. She does sing “please judge me” on this one, so I will: Your music has no passion, but I like it anyway, because this is one of my favorite genres of music. Next time, put the money into vocal mixing, and you’ll be fine, opening for Damone or, if you’re lucky, Metric.
