Amy Kress- Secret Music
by Tim Wenger
Personally, when I think of what I know about the Electronic Pop genre, two things come to mind. First: brooding, goth-infused sounds of personal loathing. Second: Night clubs, which cause me to personally loathe.
Then I heard the new record from Amy Kress entitled Secret Music. Instead of the chilling shiver that usually careens through my body when word ‘electronic’ is placed anywhere near the word ‘music,’ I was treated to an unusually personal and eccentric collection of songs that exposed the heart of a woman exploring mindful expression without boundary. Her voice is soft, but maintains authority over the backing music. The music itself varies greatly from track to track- this is not one of those records where every song sounds the same. Some elements of late eighties/early nineties female-fronted pop are present, sitting comfortably next to state-of-the-art production and the seemingly modern concept of true honesty expressed through music.
