Annette Berlin

"On guitar and vocals, with an impressively controlled but punchy drummer behind her, she's a minimalist maelstrom, all Pixies-ish powechords and PJ Harvey-esque post-punkisms. She whacks out her songs with an impressive sang-froid, keeping an air of unruffled cool even as the guitar stirs things up like a troublemaker in a pub, and her vocals scrabble and holler an angst-soaked blues.

Maximal minimalism, Annette Berlin's skilful deployment of guitar-drums duo-dynamics results in at least as much of a racket as a full band. Her songs, terse, economical, new wave blues, do the business, too."
