Getup

Jenny Hoyston, vocalist of Erase Errata, has started her solo alter ego as Paradise Island. This 7" is her debut to the world. In the same musical progression that Arto Lindsay and DNA took, Paradise Island/Jenny Hoyston pushes avant punk boundaries once again reviving mimetic shards of Fred Frith and Suicide, adding minimal beats and a plethora of instruments. Her gem of a song "Getup" is played with a ukelele and the rhythm and vocals although strongly reminiscent of Erase Errata dates back farther than roots of post punk women artists The Slits and Raincoats, pushing farther back to the 1920's infusing unconventional folk sounds with modern rumbling, frequencies, and presence of the electronic age. Paradise Island/Jenny Hoyston tweaks and plucks and creates radically structured songs that are tough to categorize in one genre; that are nostalgic and memorable.
