Sara Noxx - Equinoxx

I hadn't heard that much of Sara Noxx's material before I stood in front of the Andromeda stage during the Arvika festival '04. Of some reason her name made me think that she played some kind of cocky electro in the same style as Chicks on Speed, don't ask me why. I became very surprised when a little, dainty girl with an innocent presence and almost with a embarrassed expression entered the stage and performed.

Musically Sara Noxx music reminds me of Wolfsheim's chords and her lyrics are first of all about love and pain, sadness and broken promises. The tracks "If You", "Summer Never Again" and "Colder and Colder" are perfect examples. But our little German girl has also fitted in some political thoughts with the first track "Earth Song".

The lyrics may not be written with the most beautiful words and Sara have kind of a differential German accent, but with her performance kept in mind all of that makes it even more charming.

Charming is probably the best way to describe this record as well.
