Smoke Notes

Flip Grater not only breaks, but firmly shatters the mould of female New Zealand singer/songwriter that has been crafted over the last few years by the likes of Bic Runga, Anika Moa and Brooke Fraser.
Hailing from Christchurch (the same home-town of Runga and Moa), Grater is, admittedly, another guitar-playing singer-songwriter with good looks, but one whose songs cover a breadth of genres that are far beyond the fairly safe pop territory of the aforementioned acts. Indeed, Flip inhabits the same sort of musical territory as major international acts PJ Harvey and Cat Power, with songs that range from the angry distorted guitar rock typical of the former ('Everybody Else is Busy Mess', 'Art Robot') to some of the more gentle acoustic alt-country numbers of the latter ('Doing So Good', 'Where's the Door').
There's a discernable passion in her songs, and the underlying strength of conviction that Grater gives to her songs packs an emotive punch that's irresistible for those of us who enjoy some real feelings in the music they listen to. Hopefully Grater's refusal to play the 'pretty-but-predictable-singer-songwriter' card won't stop her from gaining the sort of recognition she really deserves, as this is a world-class album of great songs that deserves a large audience. Recommended.
