When The Lights Go Down In The City
Happy New Year everyone! Were any of your holiday presents of the musical variety? If not, don't fret because our giveaways are back. This week you can enter to win a copy of local chanteuse Paula Frazer's Leave The Sad Things Behind, released in October on local label Birdman Records. Paula's Cline-esque croon floats angelically over spooky, romantic songs with lush instrumentation including horns and steel guitar. Sounds like the soundtrack to a love scene in a Tarantino movie (a little bit creepy, but in a good way). Listen to the gorgeous album opener "Always On My Mind" and see Paula live on Wednesday at the Make-Out Room (contest ends 1/11).
