Hannah Aldridge Dream Of America (CD)

(Icons Creating Evil Art) 9 tracks, digisleeve -

Hannah Aldridge grew up on the muddy shores of Alabama, her songs maintaining a delicate balance between rebellion and self-discovery. Those familiar with the Bible Belt hear the familiar voice of an old friend; everyone else learns about the dark side of the South, the struggle to escape the past and forge a future.

'Dream Of America' walks a fine line between friendly Americana charm and the raw, hypnotic and occasionally electronic style of what is called noir indie pop. It's music for those who face their demons without remaining bound to them.
