本名为Alison Sudol的「美丽瞬间A Fine Frenzy」,来自西雅图的她在2007以首张专辑《沧海一粟One Cell In The Sea》,让全世界认识她沾染着饱和文采的音乐魅力。深闇文学、琴艺出众、拥有过人的敏锐感受力,锺爱的Classical、Motown、Swing、Rock、Folk…等不同音乐类型,使得A Fine Frenzy的创作饶富多样性,也不知不觉多了一份诗意,就像她的名字「A Fine Frenzy」一样,是取自莎士比亚知名作品【仲夏夜之梦】书中的一个字词。

2006年,A Fine Frenzy藉由一张demo,顺利获得EMI的全球唱片合约,并顺利推出首张专辑《One Cell In The Sea》,这张专辑果然不负众望,一推出便拿下美国告示牌新进艺人榜冠军专辑U.S. Billboard Top Heatseekers。有着自己独特音乐形状的她,出道之后,获得各界乐评的大力赞赏,美国星巴克娱乐副总曾公开赞誉:「A Fine Frenzy是音乐界里的稀有品种,藉由她的音乐,你将立即前往一个温暖且萦绕的诗意天地。」美国权威娱乐杂志Paste Magazine也大力称许:「A Fine Frenzy美丽又神祕!她过人的丰采,绝对是文字创作世界里的下一个明日之星。」聆听A Fine Frenzy的现场演出是很不一样的!这位创作才女以忘我的投入,总是将身体里的满满能量的,藉由独特的现场演出魅力发送出来。在发行专辑之馀,她也受邀和多位出色创作艺人Rufus Wainwright、Brandi Carlile一同巡迴表演。

全新专辑《暗潮汹涌Bomb In A Birdcage》,延续文色彩浓厚的音乐诗篇风格,却在平静的表面之下,破音乐自我界线,翻滚着暗潮汹涌的新浪潮音符。空心吉他、轻拍击掌、自在哨声,〈What I Wouldn’t Do〉有着所有最美丽的元素;琴音乔装鼓声,A Fine Frenzy堆叠出如微风般的飘忽唱腔,〈New Height〉在速度感里找到新天地;〈Electric Twist〉抹上饱满愉悦的神情,舞动着我们从不看见过的律动,可说是专辑当中最令人惊喜的歌曲之一;满天落下电子微粒,跳动着情绪亮点,映照出〈Blow Away〉的热闹气氛;曲式变化丰富,在A Fine Frenzy真切的口气里,〈Happier〉是首自我剖析的心情小语;〈Swan Song〉慢速地划开水面,滑向心里的湖中央,仰望满天的回忆;New Wave浪潮翻滚着〈The World Without〉的世界,没有顾虑地大声高唱。

在美丽瞬间之下翻滚着致命的暗涌,A Fine Frenzy在音乐的世界里不断向前迈进,找寻每种可能。

Bomb in a Birdcage is the second studio album by A Fine Frenzy, the stage name of American singer-songwriter Alison Sudol. The album was released on August 28, 2009 in Germany and on September 8, 2009 in the United States. "Bomb in a Birdcage" debuted at #28 on the U.S. Billboard 100, a career high for Sudol. The album's singles were digitally released via iTunes: "Blow Away" in July 2009, followed by "Happier" and "Electric Twist" in 2010. Two bonus tracks were also included with exclusive editions of the album on iTunes and Amazon MP3 respectively: "Coming Around" and "Silent War". The album's title is taken from the end of the LP's first song, "What I Wouldn't Do", where Sudol sings: "It was now and we were both in the same place / Didn't know how to say the words / With my heart ticking like a bomb in a birdcage / I left before someone got hurt." In an iTunes podcast about "The World Without", Sudol revealed that she felt "Bomb in a Birdcage" is about "two totally messed up people trying to stay afloat despite all the odds."
