CD Review: Jenny Mayhem - Jenny Mayhem EP

Jenny Mayhem EPBy: TJ Liebgott
November 11, 2011
3/5

Jenny Mayhem, previously of Toronto band ADA, shines in her solo self-titled debut.  While ADA had some great songs, Jenny Mayhem's new laid back, acoustic folk sound really gives her the ability to showcase her smokey, sardonic voice.

The three-track EP encapsulates the emotional frailty of lost love, especially in the song "Could Be," which features Jesse Taylor who plays off magically with Jenny Mayhems voice.

Recorded at DNA Recording Facility by Steve Chahley (Sarah Slean, K'NAAN), the EP has an open, airy texture to it that gives the album a really intimate feel. 

The only problem with the EP is that it's only three songs.  Once you start really getting into the music, it's suddenly over leaving the desire to hear more.  Hopefully it isn't too long before Jenny Mayhem is serenading us with a new release.
