Rasputina is three New York cellists
(Julia Kent, Agnieszka Rybska and frontwoman Melora Creager) who play
minor-key waltzes in a slightly gothic style that mixes music hall,
chamber music, and pop. The nineteen compositions of
Thanks For The Ether (Columbia 1996), including debut single
Transylvania Concubine (Oculus, 1995), often end up sounding like
the Penguin Cafe` Orchestra fronted by Nico with arrangements by John Cale.
How We Quit The Forest (Columbia 1998) rocks harder and displays a
sense of humour that was missing from the first album.
Cabin Fever (Instinct, 2002) is, instead, unfocused and poorly executed,
sounding like a collection of leftovers.
Melora Creager's cello is protagonist on
Frustration Plantation (Instinct, 2004). The problem is that
little else is worthy of mention.
