Thanks Bulldog for giving me heads up!

SONG: Who Is She?
ARTIST: I Monster
ALBUM: Neveroddoreven

I am so happy that Loathsome Pete introduced me to this band and genre in general, and was even generous enough to give me the download for this album. This song and "Daydream In Blue" have been really heavy on the rotation. So I dedicate this review to him.

I worship the lead male singers voice. When I listen to his voice, I would never believe that this album was put out in 1993, because he has the voice of a singer from a old 60's underground psychedelic band. Echoey, far away, tinged with mystery, and a hint of madness. And the lyrics, oh the lyrics are utter perfection. They are so mystifying and dream-like. I've said this before on another song, "Long Gone Day", but I also feel this with "Who Is She?"- it doesn't seem like he is singing this to an audience or in a studio, it seems like you are just listening to what he is thinking in his head.

His mysterious and directionless conflict really strikes my interest. I've often wondered about who some of the people were in my foggy early childhood memory. And on top of that, I have a hard time distinguishing between a childhood memory and what I've dreamt before, so that adds to the question. That relation just makes me appreciate this song that much more.
