I don’t think Sara Melson is the second coming. But someone from Nettwerk obviously does and I genuinly respect what Nettwerk thinks. Sara’s Nettwerk debut, Dirty Mind, is due out in February. Coming from the label that brought us Sarah Mclachlan this signing makes sense. Sara’s song’s are likable and catchy; she’s not shy about having a catchy chorus and her swirling guitar wok gives the songs just enough sonic interest.
“Hardpressed” is the obvious single, but it’s “Anywhere, Anytime” that may be the clincher. Dirty Mind is due out Feb. 26. I believe these are polished demos and maybe not the real thing but I like `em.
I miss Chicago, especially Schubas, Martyrs, The Abbey Pub, Double Door and Metro, Thankfully, L.A. has a cool scene (Hotel Cafe, Crane’s, The Mint and Room 5) that has given rise to some incredible artists who are taking the national stage – or are destined for it. I’ve seen Sara Melson at Hotel and Crane’s a few times, and am thrilled to hear she’s signed to a good label (Nettwerk recently signed Felix da Housecat and Ladytron, so they’re on a roll). I have both of Sara’s self-released EP’s. “Happy Endings” is my favorite song of hers, an epic, sweeping song deserving of a pivotal scene in a dark, romantic movie. “Lay You Down” has a lonely, killer guitar line. Sara’s EPs rank up there with Neko Case’s Blacklisted and Liz Phair’s Exile among my most-played and cherished discs. As Sara gains a much-deserved national audience, I hope my other fave artists from here follow suit (Brooke White, Amilia K. Spicer, Keaton Simons, Lissie, Gabriel Mann….)
