Just as Lois has divided much of her time between Olympia, WA, and Washington D.C., the spare folk-pop on this 1993 release fits neatly between the '90s music of Northwest bands like
the Spinanes
(
Rebecca Gates
is a former collaborator) and Northeast bands like
Jenny Toomey
's
Tsunami
. Lois' commitment to the DYI aesthetic is another connection she shares with the two camps. A worthy follow-up to the
Stuart Moxham
-produced
Butterfly Kiss
, Strumpet features a strong collection of economical (read: short, to the point), melancholy-tinged tracks. K Records'
Calvin Johnson
(
Beat Happening
,
Dub Narcotic Sound System
) is credited with the lo-fi production. The set concludes with a touching a cappella rendition of &The Way I Feel Inside& by
Rod Argent
(
The Zombies
,
Argent
). &Evening in Paris,& which opens the set, and &The Trouble With Me& (&The trouble with me/is that I'm trouble&) represent Lois at her clever and enchanting best.
