Vowel Movement Review by Tom Demalon

Vowel Movement is actually new wave/punk fringe artist Holly Vincent (Holly & the Italians, the Oblivious) and Concrete Blonde's Johnette Napolitano. The two had actually toured together when the Oblivious opened for Concrete Blonde. Vowel Movement is a decidedly low-key and often lo-fi affair that finds the pair getting back somewhat to the duo's punk roots. The tracks have an unfinished, embryonic quality, lyrically ("Dinosaur"), musically ("Hitchhiker"), and sometimes both ("Las Vegas"). It's a fly-on-the-wall experience for the listener that mainly satisfies best as a curiosity for fans of these two women, but casual listeners would be better advised to seek out their previous individual works.
