angst to anticipationReviewer: Ray from Dago Red MusicI must start this review by saying that I was more intrigued by the cartoon CD title than by the pedigree of the artist. But knowing from whence she came, made me eager to give it a listen. Martha Wainwright was spawned from a truly eclectic gene pool. I've been a fan of her father, Loudon Wainwright III since I was a music student in the 60's & 70's, as I was of her mother, Kate McGarrigle and her sister Anna. Martha seems to have drawn heavily from her father's influence as cartoon a wry, tongue-in-cheek songwriter. She moves from angst to anticipation in this EP, making her point, and her feelings known in very short order with B.M.F.A., the title cut. Continuing with I Will Internalize, she takes the next step in the degeneration of a relationship, denial and self-deprecation. Hope and acceptance come to the forefront with When The Day Is Short. It's Over takes us into the realm of the rebound relationship and the realization that we shouldn't look for love when we're at an emotional ebb.
