Catskills

Pamela Valfer is one of the very few women in the loopworld. Her cut & paste, flowery & folky dance pop has already proven popular from Duluth to Shibuya. The world has been waiting for this, her second full length, and what a spectacular sophomore effort it is! Pam's bedroom disco combined with her love of Janis Ian and Joni Mitchell has borne fruit with uberproducer Dave Trumfio graduating her sound, so ready for the dance floor. In fact, Christina Aguliera should look out, because in a gurl.com world, Pamela is a perfect fit. Songs like Push Me Down and Silver Lining show a young woman poised for popularity, yet insular and very aware of her growth as an artist. How Long Can This Go On should have partygoers shimmying, not seen since the Thong Song. All in all, Catskills is a puurrrfect album from a purrrfect artist, and just in time to shake indiepop from its twee roots and boundaries
