Matching fragile, ethereal vocals with subtly sophisticated songwriting, Frozen Pool finds inspiration in the cream of the Continental pop crop, particularly '60s chanteuse Françoise Hardy, and weds those ideals to Christina's own sublimely somnambulent folk-based sound. The aching opener Hunter's Lullaby recalls like Bjork fronting a less reverb-damaged Mazzy Star; other highlights include the jousting, Jobim-meets-Johnny Marr chord changes of Expensive Shoes, the lazy lyricism of Glue, and a superlative take on Leonard Cohen's Seems So Long Ago, Nancy. Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley both appear on this CD.
