LP - Rose McDowall - Cut With the Cake Knife

1LP - indie red vinyl

Remastered reissue of "Cut With The Cake Knife", which was recorded by Rose McDowall in 1988 and 1989 following the break up of her group Strawberry Switchblade. Produced with the aid of several musicians in several studios, the album features songs written for the fabled second Strawberry Switchblade album.

More importantly, perhaps, it showcases the honest, direct, and life-affirming songs of one of the greatest unsung songwriters of the modern pop era at a tumultuous time in her career. Like the veiled melancholy of her former group's hits, "Cut With The Cake Knife" hints at a darkness beneath the gloss, a darkness that saw McDowall delve into more esoteric territory with her subsequent recordings and collaborations.
