English songwriter Polly Scattergood will be releasing her debut album, "Other Too Endless," on Mar. 9, and her single by the same name will be released Feb. 23 on Mute Records.
With her sometimes overly emotional voice, Scattergood gets an A for effort, but a C on her delivery. Every now and then she sings a line that sounds a little too self-pitying, which may turn off some listeners, but Poly Scattergood's talent is raw, and she shines more often than emits a dull sheen.
The music is spot on. "Other Too Endless" is filled with delicate electronic loops and off the wall instrumentation. The album is a breath of fresh air in a genre that is peppered with cookie cutter bands.
Her first single from her debut album, "Nitrogen Pink," was released in Sept. of 2007, and told the tale of how fragile life is. The sad song is sung over loud beeps and roaring bubblegum electro-pop. Scattergood showed perfect control over her voice on "Nitrogen Pink."
"Bunny Club" is a track that stands out. After all, an electro-clash rocker detailing the life of a bunny has to be great. The beat starts off subtle, but really grows into something that will keep you dancing in your seat.
"Unforgiving Arms" is a refreshing take on a typical pop song with catchy lyrics and a solid beat. The melody is upbeat and it works its way into your mind until you hum along.
Polly Scattergood just may be an artist to keep on the lookout for. She offers plenty of catchy electro-pop for all audiences.
Scattergood's quirky vocals work for the most part, but unfortunately there are a couple of lines that are slightly groan-worthy.
