Album Review: Jackie Onassis - Juliette

It’s more thoughtful – knowing the mirror’s cracked even as you’re snorting the last line off it. Problem is, most of their audience will only want the former, and not get the message of the latter.



That music embraced and/or dismissed as 'skip hop' is a difficult beast. Could be a consistency and quality control problem, and that's well-illustrated here. Special Occasion kinda isn't one. Generic 'let's partaaaay' that could be from anywhere, but not particularly somewhere you'd really need to be. But that segues straight into the title track, where the morning after is suburban blues reflections. It's more thoughtful – knowing the mirror's cracked even as you're snorting the last line off it. Problem is, most of their audience will only want the former, and not get the message of the latter.
