"When you are feeling down, let the record spin around"
from "Happy Warriors"/ Jill Cunniff/ City Beach

This is the debut solo album from Jill Cunniff, ex-lead singer of alterna-girl pop group Luscious Jackson, which she describes as a "mood record made to bring the beach to caged up city dwellers. I hope it will also bring the city to homesick urbanites everywhere."

The poignant pop chanteuse hasn't been in the public eye for six years, but this twelve-track album is a breezy, earnest yet celebratory piece - aglow with motherly wisdom and metrical nods to the unassailable grit and color of urban life. The album is dedicated to Coney Island, New York, a city beach known for its faded glory.
