The Debutant Hour - The Birth and Death of Meaning

Describing themselves as "Gothic Americana meets The Andrews sisters" and with "lyrics that range from the absurd to the sublime", mostly the former, you may think that there is a little too much going on with this New York based all female three-piece and you may be right. The lyrics attempt to be witty and clever and are backed up by a range of musical instruments that Hickies would be proud of, Accordion, keys, hobo drums, violin, ukulele and trumpet to name a few. There is genuine musical talent here, of that there is no doubt and a natural ability, as well as desire, to perform but the concern is that all of this may threaten to override the content.
