Press Reviews Paperbeatsrock Feb., 2001Flashing Red Airplane- "My Life as a Frog" Matchpale (2001)Flashing Red Airplane, insofar as I can tell from the liner notes, is pretty much a project mainly by Jennifer Wilke with some extra musicians helping out. Lo-fi recording that only adds to the songs, which are extremely personal. I get the feeling like these songs were left on a close friend's answering machine or tape deck for no other ears to ever come in contact with. Somewhat in the vein of Bright Eyes or Elliott Smith, this stuff is definitely great. The full effect of the record didn't hit me until I sat down with the lyrics and listened though. Not something to listen to casually, as you'll miss a lot of it and kinda' zone out. My only complaint is I think the songs go on a bit too long at times. But maybe I just need to get a better feel for it. Nice use of samples on here as well. Definitely a good effort by a DIY artist who makes it obvious she has heart. ~Joe. D
