A FINE FRENZY CELEBRATES MILLION-FOLLOWER
TWITTER MILESTONE WITH FREE DOWNLOAD
SECOND VIRGIN RECORDS ALBUM, ‘BOMB IN A BIRDCAGE,’ TO BE RELEASED SEPTEMBER, 2009
(July 23, 2009, New York, NY) – Joining a select club of music notables, Virgin Records’ A FINE FRENZY marks a milestone in its close online relationship to its fans, as the band surpasses 1 million-plus Twitter followers. To celebrate the moment and to thank and acknowledge all of A FINE FRENZY’s fans, the band is tweeting a free MP3, an acoustic version of the lead-off single, “Blow Away” that was recorded during a recent visit to Cincinnati radio station Q102. The album version was released digitally on July 14 and has been added to dozens of Hot AC and AAA radio station playlists already, while the band's second album BOMB IN A BIRDCAGE is scheduled for digital and physical release on September 8, 2009.

AFF frontwoman, singer-songwriter Alison Sudol (@AFineFrenzy), tweeting long before Twitter became a social magnet and a cultural marker, had already been among the top 10 most-followed musicians on the service for months, rubbing shoulders with top-line music celebrities Mariah Carey and Britney Spears; the inveterate blogger and online wit John Mayer; hip-hoppers P. Diddy, 50 Cent, and Soulja Boy; actor/singer Ashley Tisdale; Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz and Coldplay.
The breezy, propulsive album version of “Blow Away” shares the tuneful charm and whimsical language of AFF’s debut, while BOMB IN A BIRDCAGE as a whole adds new colors and textures reflecting what Sudol describes as a previously-unnoticed “wild side…I’m a quiet person with a loud streak, and this record is a testament to that.”
Seattle-born and Los Angeles-raised Sudol released the first A FINE FRENZY album, One Cell In the Sea, in 2007, reaching Number One on Billboard’s “Heatseeker” charts. The band was chosen as a VH-1 “You Oughta Know” artist, and received rave notices in Entertainment Weekly, Paste and People, among others. Touring alongside the likes of Rufus Wainwright and Brandi Carlile, Sudol also appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The CBS Early Show and The Late Show with David Letterman. She made her acting debut on the crime drama series CSI: NY and has also shot fashion spreads.

CONTINUE...A FINE FRENZY’S DARING SOPHOMORE ALBUM,
BOMB IN A BIRDCAGE, TURNS UP THE VOLUME
"BLOW AWAY" AVAILABLE NOW ON ITUNES
On September 8, 2009,
A FINE FRENZY?led by Alison Sudol?will release
Bomb in a Birdcage on Virgin Records, the follow-up to 2007’s critically acclaimed
One Cell in the Sea. While the debut established Sudol as one of the most talented young singers and songwriters around, the new album reveals another side of A Fine Frenzy.
"I think some people may be surprised,” says 24-year-old Sudol. “They think that I’m all fragile and ethereal, but I have a wild side, too. I’m a quiet person with a loud streak, and this record is a testament to that.”
One Cell reached Number One on Billboard’s “Heatseeker” charts, and A Fine Frenzy was chosen as a VH1 “You Oughta Know” artist. The album received rave reviews in publications from
Entertainment Weekly to
Paste to
People. Songs from the album were licensed to numerous television shows, and Sudol appeared on The Tonight Show, The CBS Early Show and The Late Show with David Letterman. The young redheaded singer made her acting debut on CSI:NY and turned up in fashion spreads, but she received even more attention for her literary interests, including a band name taken from Shakespeare’s
Midsummer Night’s Dream.
“Blow Away,” the breezy, propulsive first single from
Bomb in a Birdcage now available
on iTunes, illustrates that the new album retains the tuneful charm and whimsical language of the debut, while adding new colors and textures. Lengthy tours alongside the likes of Rufus Wainwright and Brandi Carlile contributed to Sudol’s attraction to different sounds.
“On tour,” she says, “I discovered that I love rocking out and having a good time. I started listening to as much music as I could. I didn’t want to limit myself. I wanted to stretch and grow and push myself. I also wanted to have fun.”
The pivotal point for
Bomb in a Birdcage was “Stood Up,” a sweeping rock ballad. “It was the most unruly I’d ever been,” says Sudol. “I was scared by it at first and wanted to put it aside. But the songs I tend to love the most in the end are often the ones that, initially, I wanted to do away with.”
Born in Seattle and raised in Los Angeles, Sudol retains a close relationship to the outdoors, and to the spirit of fantasy she found in writers like Lewis Carroll and C.S. Lewis. But she’s far from being some kind of romantic Luddite. In fact, she was active on
Twitter (@AFineFrenzy) long before it became a cultural phenomenon?to the point that she now has over half a million followers, making her one of the top ten musicians on the service, alongside folks like Britney Spears and John Mayer.
The cliché is that an artist puts her whole life into her debut, and then has to crank out a followup while touring and feeling commercial pressure for the first time. But on
Bomb in a Birdcage, Alison Sudol has challenged herself, and reached heights that even she couldn’t imagine.
“I felt like being daring,” she says. “I wasn’t interested in doing more of the same, that doesn’t inspire me. And now, I can’t wait to get on the road with this stuff! It’s going to be quite an undertaking,
but I’m up for it.”
