Press Reviews
"Much more fun is the self-titled debut CD from Houston's Lima Sugar. Lead singer Liz Sowers' pipesare a revelation, well-conditioned and refreshinglymannerism-free. If Tanya Donelly could crawl intothe body of her former Throwing Muses bandmate Kristen Hersh, the resulting vocal overlap mightsound a little like this. The rest of Lima Sugargives Sowers plenty to work with, dishing out headyhard rock that's elementary by nature but never farfrom a juicy hook or memorable chord change. In these ways, and maybe a few others, Lima Sugar subtly straddles the fence between comfortable and chaotic. This is a band that warrants furtherstudy." Hobart Rowland, the Houston Press "These local pop aficionados have released a 13-song CD filled with exuberance, snappy rhythms and strong melodies. From the opening track,"All or Nothing" tothe CD-closing "French Thing," Lima Sugar never loses its zeal. Lima Sugar's enthusiasm is contagious. Listen to any two or three songs from this releaseand you will be toes a-tappin' and fingers poppin'.The CD is a worthwhile purchase, just as Lima Sugaris a band to see before they hit it big. And hit it big they will ..." Scott Williams, Public News |
