Juice Vocal Ensemble

Songspin Nonclassical ****

Sassy, vibrant and enthralling, Juice Vocal Ensemble possess more than enough rocket fuel in their vocal chords to transport listeners. Spirited imagination runs riot on this sparkling debut album from an all-female trio. The Ensemble's pinpoint accuracy on toning and tuning is a bug plus, but some wise song selections also help keep you hooked. Ranging from folk and avant-garde pieces to tunes by Elisabeth Lutyens, James Lindsay and Gillian Welch (as well as tracks written by band members Kerry Andrew and Sarah Dacey), Songspinis a refreshing, innovative and delightful affair. Hopefully we'll get to experience a live Irish show in the not-too-distant future. See myspace.com/juicevocal ensemble
