Recorded at Sunset Sound, Henson Recording Studio and Ananda Studios, Hollywood, California.
Michelle Branch has a voice that'll be familiar to fans of alternative rock radio, since it's that breathy, close-miked sound beloved of pop-rock girls from Fiona Apple to Britney. She uses it to good effect on her debut, THE SPIRIT ROOM, accompanied by a coterie of LA session veterans who provide her with the sort of assured musical expertise that only big bucks can provide. Each song is hook-laden and charmingly sung. Standouts are the infectiously poppy album-opener "Everywhere" and the oddly retro-sounding "Sweet Misery." The overall effect conjured by THE SPIRIT ROOM is of an assured pop debut--Branch certainly leaves you curious to hear her next effort.
Reviews:
Rolling Stone (11/22/01, p.90) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...A mostly filler-free collection of catchy butterfly kisses to young love....Branch shows that innocent doesn't have to mean stupid..."
Q Magazine (3/02, p.116) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Indisputably, the new Alanis Morissette..."
Entertainment Weekly (9/7/01, p.164) - "...She sure smells more authenticthan the current brand of teen spirit..." - Rating: B
