Puking And Crying

S represents the solo career of Jenn Ghetto, coleader of Seattle's sorely missed Carissa's Wierd. On her second full-length record, Puking and Crying, Ghetto collects dark and hauntingly intimate songs, which feel organic despite their strange electronics, drum loops, blips, and clicks. Puking and Crying has an up-close feel to it, a direct look into the songwriter. It feels like it could have been made for fans of Bjork who need fewer theatrics, lovers of Belle and Sebastian longing for less posturing, and admirers of The Postal Service who aren't afraid to get a little dirty.
