Because I loved Love, Save the Empty so much, I decided I wanted to buy some Erin McCarley with the iTunes voucher I got for Christmas. I actually couldn't believe it when I saw the price of this album though.
FOUR FREAKING DOLLARS!
It's insane, most full-length albums are around 16 dollars on average, yet this one was only $3.99, EPs cost more for gods sake! After listening to it, I can safely say, it's the best four dollars I've ever used.
I actually can't believe it was so cheap, simply because it's SUCH a good album! None of the songs sound the same, they're each all so unique and different, it's very refreshing to listen to.
I've only listened to the album once, so I haven't really listened to many of the lyrics, but from reviews I've read, I can tell they're very quirky and unique. That's something I love about indie pop though. I feel like artists feel a lot less pressure to write something lovey-dovey and mainstream and instead can write lyrics that are a bit different.
Overall, I was very impressed with Erin's album and will definitely be buying more of her music, because I think I'm absolutely HOOKED!
