 Anya Marina's childlike voice doesn't jibe with her randy album title. But that doesn't stop the San Diego singer from growling come-ons on "Afterparty at Jimmy's" ("You got soul onstage, boy/How about soul in the sack?") or purring like Jessica Rabbit on the cabaret-style "All the Same to Me." She dials it back on "Vertigo," a sweet ode to a dizzying dude. With blippy drum loops, it sounds like a play date with a Casio — proof that Marina still has G-rated fun....full text |

| Depending on your taste, this San Diego singer-songwriter’s music is either cutesy “Grey’s Anatomy” tripe or finely constructed fare that was smartly chosen for wide appeal by the makers of that television show. Marina’s follow up to her 2005 debut “Miss Halfway” was produced by Louis XIV’s Brian Karscig and Spoon’s Britt Daniel. It was preceded by the single “Move You (SSSPII),” another track featured on “Grey’s Anatomy” (the first was the title track to her debut). The album also takes a few detours, including the cabaret song “All The Same To Me” and the bossa nova cover tune “Waters of March,” penned by Antonio Carlos Jobim....full text |

The seed of Anya Marina's new album, Slow & Steady Seduction, Phase II , should attract some attention. On one fateful night in a bar in Burbank, she and Britt Daniel (of Spoon fame) were discussing music when Anya mentioned she hadn't been inspired to write much recently. She felt frustrated at her inability to write in the rhythmic style of her recent favorites like LCD Soundsystem and Public Enemy. Later, Daniel sent her a selection of beats and loops he had created which ended up inspiring a good deal (and the best) of Marina's new record, which features Daniel as producer for two tracks.
Even without knowing the story behind the music, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to compare Marina's music to that of Spoon, especially on songs like "Drop Dead Blues" and "Two Left Feet," which mix acoustic guitars with stomping percussion. It's a great sound to serve as the backdrop for Marina's sexy-yet-sweet vocal style and unconventional-yet-relatable lyrics. Highlights include the cocky swagger of "All The Same To Me," the first single, "Move You," and the perfectly restrained, "Vertigo." Marina maintains a sense of humor and a sharp wit throughout even as she deals with broken relationships and heartache....full text |
