About
The deadpan sweetness of Colleen Green’s vocals is matched by a sly intelligence and a firm grasp on songcraft. The Oakland, Calif.–based singer/songwriter infuses her debut album, <i>Sock It to Me</i>, with yearning tinged with droll humor, all wrapped in a minimal pop-punk sound built around her sturdy electric guitar and drum machine. Strains of classic girl groups can be heard in her romantic musings; her simple but insidiously catchy melodies bring The Ramones to mind. Green’s boyfriend obsessions on tracks like “Yr So Cool,” “Darkest Eyes," and “Every Boy Wants a Normal Girl” hint at irony around the edges but retain a bleary-eyed innocence. The title track introduces a note of disco-esque sexiness, while “Time in the World” and “Close to You” add ‘80s-style synthesizer for color. When she chooses, Green can deliver hit-worthy numbers with a wry twist, as “Taxi Driver” shows. <i>Sock It to Me</i> teases (and pleases) by stripping its thoughts and music down to the barest essentials. Green may opt for more refinements in the future, but her first long-player stands as a testament to her quirky sense of restraint.
