Artist Biography For Marie & The Wildwood Flowers

Virtually Unknown Even In The Alternative Rock World Marie & The Wildwood Flowers Released An Interesting Difficult-To-Classify LP In The Late '80s That Like The Works Of For Example Marianne Faithfull And Gavin Friday Drew From Both Post-Punk And European Cabaret Forms. The Group Was A Vehicle For Swedish Singer/songwriter Marie Ell Who Co-Wrote And Co-Produced The Group's Self-Titled 1987 Album With Henryk Lipp. The Wildflowers If They Were A Separate Entity Had A Free-Floating Membership Numerous Musicians Contributed To The Album Which Had A Different Lineup On Each Track. Ell Could Recall Gloom-Mongers Like Nico And Siouxsie In Both Her Delivery And Lyrics But She Was More Diverse In Approach. Her Material Was Difficult To Pin Down Touching Upon Blues-Rock Torch Ballads And Dark Psychedelia The Arrangements Were Very Ambitious And Ever-Shifting Employing Distorted Guitars Eerie Synthesizers And Dabs Of Cello Brass And Violin. I'm Not Aware Of Any Other Subsequent Recordings Which Isn't To Say There Weren't Any The Album's Worth Keeping An Eye Out For As One Of The More Interesting Oddities Of '80s Underground Rock. ~ Richie Unterberger Rovi
