St Chimerae

Zutrau’s vocals in his self-titled band are its weakest asset, although “Burning Bridges” is complex and eccentric, and, again, the baseline stands out.

Vision Thing, on it’s voyage from Reworked Roots Rock to Goth/Ethereal, got stuck on a siding just this side of Interesting.

The St. Chimerae track, “Midnight,” is a bit too self-conscious and studied for my tastes.

Michelle Poppleton has a beautiful Sinead O’Connor-like voice, but without the annoying condescension and with even more lyrical lilt.

They’re pleasantly pop but with enough eccentricity in mood and rhythm to be pretty interesting.
