I love irony, surrealism and general bizarreness, it’s the fact I’m British. With that in mind my favorite new fact of the week is that the producers of both "As The World Turns" and "Beavis & Butthead : Buttoween DVD" choose the same track from this CD to feature on their respective products."HuuHuuu that’s cool", as someone might say.
To be honest it is a lot easier to see it accompanying the bad acting of the former than the bad language of the later. Still Ms. Peimer’s debut product, an E.P called cleverly "E.P", is a smooth as silk piece of work, with near perfect production. If you heard this CD and someone told you this was the latest release from Warner Brothers Records, and that they had spent a fortune on it, you would not doubt it for a minute.
The E.P consists of two pure ballads, and two jangly guitar pop ballads. All four songs have "background music for dramatic/emotional scene" stamped all over them. This is both a good and bad thing, certainly Elisa is a success waiting to happen, and I would be shocked at anything else befalling her. Against that is the problem of being trapped as a saccharine sweet member of the Lilith Fair crowd. If the tracks here are a sampler of her songwriting talented, that is superb, if instead this is her entire range then it might begin to get a little bland. Then again I have never had a sweet tooth.
Behind Ms. Peimer rich, and thank the Lord not whinny voice, are a group of talented musicians including Jefferson Thomas on Guitar and Shelly Riff on Keyboards. There is no doubting though that the four tracks here are mainly a podium upon which to display the voice and lyrics of Elisa Peimer. She has talent, of that there can be no doubt, I did thoroughly enjoy this E.P, but I don’t think it is likely to become a regular within my CD player, then again I don’t think for a second I am the intended audience, you may be. So give her website a visit and listen in to the next big thing.
