New York singer,
guitarist, and songwriter Kirsten DeHaan hails from Indiana and Conform is her
debut album. DeHaan’s style is reminiscent of Edie Brickell’s, and her distinctive
sound combines indie rock with a bit of a country accent.
“Saved” is
upbeat and features some lovely guitar stylings. “Commotion” is a great track for
dancing. A couple of the slower tracks, “Breakthrough” and “Apologies,” are soft and
melodic.
Most of the songs on this disc are very danceable, with some
wonderful guitar solos woven throughout. The mix is heavy on the bass line and the
vocals are nothing short of spectacular. The lyrics speak with simple eloquence of love,
heartbreak, ambition and passion.
Kirsten DeHaan and her band with begin
a northeast college tour in the late fall of this year. For details check her site at KirstenDeHaan.com.
