Album Notes & Community Reviews

Siberry's sophomore release established her as a preeminent voice in Canadian alternative music, heavily supported by the breakout success of the quirky, stream-of-consciousness single 'Mimi on the Beach'. The record blends idiosyncratic, literary lyricism with pristine new wave production and angular synth-pop flourishes. Her conversational vocal delivery and unconventional song structures distinguished her from her contemporaries in the burgeoning 80s art-pop scene.
