Elizabeth Cook

Elizabeth Cook (from the album Aftermath available on Agent Love Records)
The sound of Aftermath is an artist breaking free. The style shifts and changes over a constant hum of rhythm that courses under and cascades around Elizabeth Cook on her recent release. Produced by Butch Walker at his Ruby Red Studios in Santa Monica, CA, Aftermath stomps and hollers, screams and shouts. Elizabeth Cook calling out to the spirits on the opening track, her cry rising above the hammered beat in “Bones” as she introduces “Thick Georgia Woman” over a stop/start rhythm and warns of “Half Hanged Mary” with a funhouse mirror groove.
 
The freedom that Elizabeth Cook felt in her personal life is channeled into a funnel cloud force for Aftermath, the singer recalling ‘this is the first time that I’ve been completely unchained, really. I wasn’t in an oppressive relationship, I wasn’t trying to meet some sort of label’s expectation, I wasn’t trying to meet some sort of market expectations. And that’s the way I wanna do it, or not at all’. Modernizing talking Blues as a sing/speak flow, Elizabeth Cook offers her opinions on “Perfect Girls of Pop” as ragged guitar strums match the crooked line leading a lost soul through “These Days”. Words and music, Aftermath is a near-physical attack on the senses. Elizabeth Cook scatters a sad Country story with “Two Chords and a Lie” and bares her heart in “Daddy, I Got Love for You” over sweeping strings. Aftermath makes a point of offering good wishes with bless-your-heart daggers in “Bayonette” as Elizabeth Cook owns her faults with confidence for “Bad Decisions” and hushes her vocal for the dreamscape trance rumbling underneath “When She Comes”.
