A Little Friction

When sparks fly features songs described as
“a lovely, haunted moment,” and “very Kurt Weill"

“A dynamic, electric record ... as uncommon as these things get ... a phenomenal vocal” - Anna Maria Stjärnell, Collected Sounds.com


“Powerful, sensual, compelling – this CD is truly riveting.

The term "cabaret" is dependant on an intimate communication between the musicians and the audience, and A Little Friction easily achieves that kind of rapport with a glam-rock edge.

There's nothing formulaic or cliché about this wonderful collection of songs: they're theatrical, fun, emotional, accessible, dark, light.”
- KT Hall, CDBaby


“Get thee to a stadium!!!!”
- Rhona Alexander, CDBaby
