Why Phèdre Rules by Audrey King (2015)

Phèdre

I’m really excited about seeing Phèdre again.

I love everything I’ve seen April Alliermo and Daniel Lee perform. Their interests are diverse and any project they focus on displays their commitment to fun. Phèdre is a collage of dreamy and scuzzy pop, aggressively performed and very anti-boredom. No folk festival chairs. Maybe costumes. Fans of Hooded Fang and their amazing ESG cover band will recognize something wonderful in Phèdre’s role-playing and sexy jungle distortions. It is lovely and familiar, but it is also exciting and weird. Alliermo has spoke in interviews about the importance of dialogue between genres – this is music that loves genres. This is music that loves play. It loves the muddy fomentation of its own creative energy. It is dysfunctional. It rules.
