At a time when almost every new rock artist feels the need to trumpet her personal angst, Abra Moore offers a true alternative. We're talking alternative-pop that stands up next to Liz Phair, Joan Osborne and Ani DiFranco. Listen to the prophetic lyrics and hooky refrain of "Four Leaf Clover," the darker, melodic psychedelia of "Keeps My Body Warm," and the guitar crunch of "Don't Feel Like Cryin'." How refreshing it sounds.Strangest Places is Moore's major label debut for Arista Austin and a perfect blend of the various sounds that have shaped her life since early childhood.
"It's a canvas that I threw all my life experiences and musical influences onto and this is what came out," she says of the new album.
"This music thing just kind of chose me," says Abra. "I come from a very artistic family, so I've always done this. My father is an artist from the Beat generation. I grew up hearing Billie Holiday, Chet Baker and the whole jazz era. I was into the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Judy Garland, Bette Midler, Tom Petty and also all the '70s stuff. It all colored my palette."
