Fonda

Reviews

The Strange And The Familiar (CD) Parasol
The rock theatricals which beset Fonda's 1999 album The Invisible Girl have thankfully been toned down a little here, allowing the songs to shine through. At times Fonda's pomp rock tendencies take over and leave them sounding a little too much like Manson, not least on the overblown but engaging The Sun Keeps Shining On Me, but greater restraint elsewhere produces such gems as Summer Land (Be My Love) and the utterly wonderful Close To Home.
