| Hope Alane Hope Alane is a songwriter and singer living in western Massachusetts. Recordings of her songs have been produced by Robin lane (best known for her top-40, Nick Lowe-produced hit "When Things Go Wrong"), and Stephin Merritt (before his "magnetic Fields" days). For her debut album, Hope Alane called on an "old old friend," john, as producer and collaborator. The nine songs on "Pink Sky Blue" reveal her unique, deeply intuitive approach to songwriting. Pink Sky Blue is a little like opening an artist's closet and digging down into the bottom stuff. Hope Alane's vocals are bright and lilting, reminding me of Linda Smith and why I like her recordings so much as well. Producer john, who runs the little grasshopper records label, paints with a palette of atmospheric guitars, human-enfused drum machines, tack piano, analogs and the like that embrace the singer and her songs in a way that makes this release one of those rare ear gems you'll keep. Like a box full of photographs or something. This is very highly recommended. Reviewed by Bryan Baker 11/1/2004. MEDIA: CD. CONTACT:
