Heather FrahnAcoustic Energy Independent/Black Market Music Technically speaking, Heather Frahn is far from perfect. However, what she lacks in polish, she most certainly makes up with spit; an evenly dealt balance of passion and attitude mixed with loads of confidence. Her latest CD-EP 'Acoustic Energy' is definitely aptly named. Intuition opens with a well-metered mix of vigorously assailed guitar and masterfully placed light percussion from Todd Telford, Frahn soon introduces her resonant, delicately rasped and breathy vocals a few bars later. Assuredly challenging modern ideals brought on by the advent of technology and today's high pressure lifestyle, it segues gently into the flimsily brushed scat of Live Learn, again demonstrating Frahn's perceptive tug-of-war when coming to terms with prevailing demands. Taking stock as much as it is questioning, Precious Things is a ragged-paced inventory of one's inner-self, while A Little is a poised look at the strength and fragility of relationships. H.O.P.E. sums up this local artist's main ambition; to simply make some difference, however small. Frahn has been around the traps for over a decade since first gaining attention when only fourteen, and 'Acoustic Energy' is without doubt a big step towards greater recognition. If you don't believe me, simply pop your head in next time she's playing at a venue near you.  |
