Just Great writing
David Singer's songs bring comfort to the lovelorn. Plus his live show rocks. Good stuff ... download it, especially the title track, Amaranthine, and Snow.

Although he's one of Chicago's most consistently creative and cinematic singers and songwriters, David Singer has never broken out of the local scene to achieve the national recognition he so richly deserves, either as the frontman for Kid Million or leader of the Sweet Science, pretty much for the same reason that his music appeals to a dedicated core of adventurous fans: Although it contains elements of psychedelic rock, orchestral pop, emo and pure Tom Waits-like eccentricity, it never fits neatly into any one of those categories, asking that listeners be as open-minded and intelligent as the artist himself. "East of the Fault Line" is another exquisitely tuneful and wonderfully thought-provoking collection of songs that opens with one of Singer's finest compositions ever, the wistful and aptly named "Amaranthine"." -- Jim DeRogatis
