Haiku Review, Vol. One

Colin Meloy - Colin Meloy Sings Live!
by Caren Kelleher

Sings strong when solo
Even on the worst of songs
Dracula’s Daughter

KaiserCartel - March Forth
by Caren Kelleher

Name screams “MTV!”
Music whispers “Coffeehouse”
Confounds emo kids

My Morning Jacket - Evil Urges
by Caren Kelleher

Prince meets pedal steel
Reinvention or a ruse?
Highly suspicious

R.E.M. - Accelerate
by Kate Kiefer

Sounds like REM
Circa 1993
Oh the good old days

Scarlett Johansson - Anywhere I Lay My Head
by Kate Kiefer

I think maybe she’s
covering Tom Waits songs but
I can’t hear her voice

She & Him - Vol. 1
by Steve LaBate

Velvet-voiced ’60s
Girl-group bliss wraps itself in
misty cowgirl heartbreak
