Shirley Lee - Shirley Lee

(AU magazine, March 2009)

Album review

Missing Page

Wearing the comfortably shabby singer/songwriter hat, Shirley Lee comes fresh from the underrated indie band Spearmint. With their last record released in 2006, Lee has taken his time putting together his own selection here, and it's just lovely. With songs about Brighton Beach and the Lemonheads, Lee is wilfully fey, but it suits him. the romance which courses through tracks like "Spiralina Girl", and the whole album is really a doctrine on love and life without it. Solo work suits you, Mr. Lee.
