Thalia Zedek is the kind of artist who is easy to overlook -- her work is so
consistently strong, so oblivious to trends, and so true to its uniquely grim,
world-weary ethos that for better or worse you can check in after a prolonged
absence but still know exactly what to expect. The Youre a Big Girl Now EP, her
second solo effort, continues the haunted, strung-out blues-rock approach Zedek
perfected with her band Come, albeit softened by spartan piano and mournful
viola accompaniment (courtesy of Victory at Seas Mel Lederman and the Willard
Grant Conspiracys David Michael Curry, respectively). Highlighting the six-song
set are two covers -- Bob Dylans title song and the Velvet Undergrounds
transsexual ode Candy Says -- that confront themes of gender identity and
dislocation with a directness comparable to Zedeks most intimate material; given
that her own songs also rely on her raw, gripping vocals to get the message
across, she invests in these covers an emotional intensity that the originals
never realized, making the songs her own in the process.
