Sister Friction ... 2nd CD Available Now!
Friction
sounds of classic new wave, synth pop, dance, funk, industrial,
etc...where music is music, sound is sound, and the belief that
everything can happily co-exist is paramount. Non-hetero themes are often
thrown in for added flavour.
Sister Friction has released two CD's. They are both available at
www.amazon.com. See reviews below...
Review of the Sometimes EP, Lexicon Magazine (Issue #10, Winter 1999):
"In my review of Glamour ... My Ass!, Sister Friction's first album
(Lexicon #8) I noted that Mr. Friction's best asset was his way around a
studio. Sure enough, this EP of remixes (at 67 minutes, longer than the
album!) proves that, although he gets some help from other synthpop bands
like Dissonance and Tinmen. Tinmen's remix (actually Keith Gillard) gives
the song a slip beat feel, slightly early '90s feel. He recasts the song
in a kind of Nine Inch Nails vein, to great effect. Dissonance (Blue Mix)
takes the song into outer space, speeds up the beat a little and comes
out with a nifty radio ready slice of pop. In their "Metalware" mix they
make the song disco ready. No One's "Never" mix is a dub-like approach,
clever, but short however." -David Richards
Review of GLAMOUR...MY ASS!, babysue review (September 1998):
"Surprisingly radio-friendly one man electronic band with a knack for
lyrics and a sense of humor. Sister Friction is the brainchild of Robert
Hedin. The music harkens back to electronic pop of the late eighties and
early nineties. Robert is not afraid to let his electronic pop sound
electronic, as is evidenced by the programmed percussion and wealth of
sometimes offbeat keyboard sounds. The use of analog synths is sometimes
reminiscent of Joy Electric, although the vocals and actual songs are
miles away. My own peculiar favorites here are "Sometimes" (which could
easily be a radio hit), "Everything," "Gone," and "Love At A Distance."
Really good stuff, just a bit off the beaten path." (Rating: 4 out of 5)
