Fresh Face | Carol Bui
This week's Fresh Face, CAROL BUI, rises out of Washington, D.C., with her unapologetic, post-punk, guitar thrashing and assertive vocals.
Since her 2004 self-released debut LP, This Is How I Recover, Carol Bui has established herself along the likes of other guitar-tearing female rockers, Kristin Hersh, Heart, and Bif Naked.
Carol Bui also released a follow-up album on 54 Degrees 40' or Fight! records in 2007 called Everyone Wore White. The album features very melodic vocals over dissonant guitars, rhythmically complex drums, and surprisingly, cello. Take a listen to "The Year After" and "Rockville" for a sample of Bui's dark, if not completely bleak, lyrics. And while her vocals can't help but be a touch sweet in "Modern Dance," you cannot deny the ferociousness at which she spits out her words.
If you're not lucky enough to catch Carol Bui live, take a listen to her (below the cut)!
