angie heaton sparkle (Mud Records)

(by Brad Harvey) Heaton often gets compared in reviews to Liz Phair but her sound and singing owes more to X and Exene Cervenka. Sonically, I'd venture a guess that Wild Gift seems to be the inspiration behind a number of the better tracks on here--"Rollerskate," "Umbrella Sarah," and "Flying" have X's chugging Chuck Berry-on-speed roar down to a T. Lyrically, boredom and dissatisfaction seem to be the twin demons that fuel Heaton's muse, whether dismissing a former lover in favor of self-pleasure ("Super Falling Star"), dodging work to go to the pool ("Flying"), or being jaded with the whole notion of love itself ("Sparkle"). Will nihilism spoil Angie Heaton? Never.
