The best album of the year so far! Harkening back to the glory days of the early/mid 90s alt-rock scene 'Past Life Martyred Saints' is anything but a throwback. There are flashes of Royal Trux, The Breeders, Nirvana's more bruised recordings, Kim Gordon, Cat Power circa Moon Pix, Patti Smith and more besides but Erika M Anderson is very much her own woman and these sometimes brittle sometime tough outpourings are always absorbing. The 1-2 knockout blows of opening two tracks 'Grey Ship' and 'California' should leave you in no doubt that it is gonna be a tough record to better this year.

a great record - haunting energy - should win some awards. anyone who can come up with the line 'california you made me boring' should be monitored.
It's not an easy listen and it's stripped of sentiment. take your pulse. But a welcome invention that's endearing. 'I wish every time he touched me left a mark'
romance as dislocation yet post modern.

I heard a track on Last FM, checked the album out on Spotify, and read the Wolfs thorough review on Amazon. I have used his reviews in the past and found them to be excellent so I will not try to added anymore other than to say, I parted with my cash so that I could have the CD to listen to in the car, the only place I can turn the volume up, and I am not disappointed.
Check it out and I am sure you will agree.

Best album of 2011 so far
What a début. Listening to this it's hard to believe that (1) it's a first full length (as a solo artist), (2) that Erika M Anderson is so young. Read more
