MP3 Brittany Safranek - Moravian Star

With the voice like the sound of an orphaned angel, her outlaw drawl mingles with the spirits of Patti Smith and Kristen Hersh, mixing pop, rock and folk into a single persona."

- Moravian Star Review
By John Noyd, Maximum Ink Music Magazine (2000)

Slipping into a form of drawl and crawl folk hypnosis, San Francisco singer-songwriter Brittany Shane (Safranek) dredges up strong emotions with an honest voice and simple persistent backing in her release, "Moravian Star." Aches that read like honesty and a single-minded hopefulness swirl around Brittany's fog bound, barbed wire voice and a restless vengeance conjures a slowly building kettle of simmering sympathies.

With subtle mantra-like grace, her enchanted steadfast psychosis settles slowly over time and many of Brittany's tunes beg for the full string treatment. Production that could float her patient crescendos on a cushion of orchestrated valor, lifting her beautiful desperation onto a more majestic plain. While the use of organ points to grander renditions of her plaintive poems, it is Brittany's relentless, ever tightening circle of melody that eventually snares the listener.

A weathered prayer to the cast-offs of life, "Moravian Star," burns bright and uncompromised with disarming directness and haunted strength.
