SINCE ARRIVING IN CHICAGO IN 1998 SINGER SONGWRTER MARYDEE REYNOLDS HAS GRADUALLY WORKED HER WAY OUT OUT OF THE SHADOW OF HER FORMER BAND CHAINSUCK.PEGGED AS AN INDUSTRIAL ACT AFTER SIGNING TO WAX TRAX /TVT AND COLLABORATING WITH MEMBERS OF MINISTRY THE GROUP NEVER GOT CREDIT FOR FINESSING THE BRUTAL SOUNDS OF SHOEGAZERS LIKE MY BLOODY VALENTINE AND CURVE.LAYERING ETHEREAL MELODIES AND SAMPLES OVER SINISTER TRIP HOPPY BEATS CHAINSUCK WAS LUCKY NOT TO BE SINGLED OUT AS A GARBAGE CLONE BUT IT WAS A MOOT POINT AFTER ITS PROGRAMMER WILLIAM TUCKER DIED AN UNTIMELY DEATH IN 1999 AND REYNOLDS QUIETLY RETIRED THE NAME.
AS THE GREAT NIECE OF BILL MCCUSKEY AND MILLIE GOOD{DIRECTOR AND STAR RESPECTIVELY OF THE LEGENDARY MIDWESTERN HAYRIDE AND NATIONAL BARN DANCE COUNTRY MUSIC SHOWS IN THE 1930S IT'S FITTING THAT REYNOLDS HAS MOVED IN A MUCH ROOTSIER DIRECTION.SUPPORTING HER BREATHY VOCALS WITH SPARSE GUITAR WORK SHE EVOKES THE DIRE BLUES MOAN OF PJ HARVEY OR NICK CAVE.HER UPCOMING ALBUM SNAKEBIT DUE OUT THIS SPRING ADDS ORGANIC LAYERS OF CELLO AND PIANO BUT HER STRIPPED DOWN SOLO PERFORMANCES GIVE FREE REIN TO THE SUBTLE DETAILS OF HER DREAMY VOICE.
