Picture yourself as part of a
rather succesful musical project. Then take that relative success out of the
equation. Going solo can be a little overwhelming, even scary, if that means leaving
that place of comfort you where standing on. That’s what Laura Romero did when she
decided to bring Mint Parker to life. Even when the creative effort required in
writing a good album is considerable, developing with it a whole new artistic
persona brings the task to a different level. She wrote a good album, filled with heartfelt
songs that mostly reflect the sorrow of someone who has seen better days. Even though a shaded grey operates as the
general tone throughout the album, there are little moments of light that shine
brighter, contributing to the overall balance of a otherwise sadly mooded
record. It sounds as if Mint went trough
a lot, but with the help of the Mentals (her band), she finally got out safe on
the other side. And with a nice little piece of honest music in her hand.
