We Say...
"I can't play too loud," Los Angeles-raised Bostonian Rachael Cantu croons on "Hear My Laughter," the opening song of her debut album, but she doesn't hold to that for long. By the second track, the rocking "Saturday," the singer-songwriter is, with some help from ex-Papas Fritas frontman Tony Goddess, cutting a tough groove to belt over. But Cantu reveals an appealing vulnerability even there, just as her quieter moments display a hard undercurrent; think of a much tougher Cat Power, or a younger Kristin Hersh with more emotional stability. Run All Night is only 27 minutes long, but it leaves you wanting more from this promising young talent.

They Say...
The spooky opening track, "Hear My Laughter," all echoing acoustic guitar, subtly threatening keyboard drones, and dark, menacing lyrics, suggests that Rachael Cantu's debut album is going to put the L.A.-born, Boston-based singer/songwriter in the same pretty-but-depressing realm as Lisa Germano, or Kristin Hersh's solo records. But then "Saturday" delivers an unexpected power pop rush, "Sweat and Bones" skirts into Michael Penn's old-school singer/songwriter territory, and the album highlight "Blood Laughs" sets a soft, murmuring vocal in a stark setting of bell-like synths played by ex-Papas Fritas leader Tony Goddess. All over the map in the best possible sense, Run All Night is enchantingly varied, with Cantu's husky vocals and generally rueful lyrics the only constants. It's also bracingly short, saying its piece in just over 27 filler-free minutes; would that more artists in the CD age understood the value of brevity.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
