Album Review: Marta Pacek - Voodoo Dolls And False Alarms

26 February 2014 | 10:24 am | Jessica Polak

Definitely an album for a rainy day.



The melancholy tunes of Marta Pacek become quite repetitious by the end of her third full-length album. An experiment with electronic beats falls short with a few songs sounding as if they could have been made from my keyboard at home. The saving graces are The Hunted with its Western vibe and the alternate version of One Day, which adds the strain of the cello to its driving melody. An honourable mention goes to Pass Me Over – it's a bit less downhearted than the rest. Definitely an album for a rainy day.
