I think once you've gotten your brain wrapped around the lyrics, you'll see that she's actually extremely engaging and interesting.the whole thing is full of these weird sexual metaphors: "and you're some crazy fisherman, your lines on fire, you're caught in my tide, now you're inside me".Jennifer Charles uses water imagery like the oceans are about to dry up, it's wild.
"Bleed Your Cedar" in and of itself is allusive enough.and almost all of the other songs are that way.I especially love the hilariously-sexy part from "Sugarplum Arches" where the music stops and she mutters, "Let me be your salt lick salt lick salt lick let me be your salt sap wet lap dream!" They say Jennifer Charles used to be a performance artist, and I can see very well how that influences her lyrics. ( Fields are very amazing.I love the constant sexual allusion. Great band-have to see them soon! Ecto Required Listening! ( fields is great. In a way they remind me of a quieter Babe The Blue OX, but with fabulous keyboards. Jennifer Charles has a great voice: sexy, coy, playful, and the music behind her is superb: sometimes folky, sometimes jazzy, dissonant, and dirty but always palatable.
