We Say...

Review by Rob O'Connor

The release date says 2004, but the heart, mind and ears say 1974. For her debut album (following 2001's Tears All Over Town EP) Eddy (born Erin Moran), sings modest, rainy-day anthems that recall the melancholy of '60s singers Dusty Springfield and Francoise Hardy wrapped in the orchestrated soft-rock of early-'70s AM radio. Eddy goes so far as to quote the Carpenters' hit "Close to You" during the opening notes of "Heartache" and approximate Karen Carpenter's warm purr for the string and piano-based "People Used to Dream About the Future." But Moran is no pretender. In early 2003 this New Jersey-bred songwriter (and no, she is not the Happy Days co-star) went to Sheffield, England, to record these tracks with Pulp's Richard Hawley; the music aptly reflects the still, luminous beauty of a Yorkshire winter. Nothing is forced, no excessive vocal gymnastics employed. From the gentle shuffle of "Life Thru the Same Lens" to the poignant, quiet-room suffering of "Did You See the Moon Tonight?," Eddy's got a style that's actually quite timeless.

Review by Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

Three years after the sensational Tears All Over Town EP, Erin Moran (aka A Girl Called Eddy) issued her debut long-player in the United States via the maverick Epitaph subsidiary Anti. Produced with aplomb by Pulp's Richard Hawley and Colin Elliot, this self-titled outing is an exercise in melancholy, depth, intimacy, and pure pop sophistication. Moran's songwriting approach is unabashedly romantic; it's torchy yet sweet, and her love of songwriters from Scott Walker to Burt Bacharach to Brian Wilson to Jim Webb is everywhere evident. In addition, her voice is a dead cross between Chrissie Hynde's and Karen Carpenter's. Hawley and Elliot have a symbiotic empathy for Moran's method. While she holds down the piano chores, this pair play all manner of guitars, basses, and electric keyboards with Shez Sheridan and Andy Cook, and selectively employ string and horn sections where appropriate. She reprises two cuts from the previous offering in the devastating ballad "Heartache" (which quotes the piano intro to the Carpenters' "Close to You") and the aching "Girls Can Really Tear You Up Inside." The album opens with the blue-eyed soul-pop of "Tears All Over Town," with its ringing Rickenbacker guitars, swirling strings, and rich piano textures. It is followed by the genuinely sad, loss-drenched "Kathleen," written for Moran's late mother, with acoustic and electric guitars starkly winding around a skeletal string section; above it all Moran's voice haltingly expresses its grief. There is a big production number as well in "People Used to Dream About the Future," with its crashing waves of keyboards and strings and a bridge to die for. There's the jaunty cabaret pop of "Life Thru the Same Lens," the hushed, emotionally loaded "Did You See the Moon Tonight," and the heartbreak rock & roll of the album's closer, "Golden." In all, A Girl Called Eddy is a multi-textured, multi-dimensional journey into grand pop literacy; Moran's songs are examples of exquisite taste that is never cheeky or dishonest. On her album the heart speaks with grace, elegance, and force.
