Lisa Germano - Geek The Girl (30Th Anniversary Edition) Lisa Germano
£15.99

Tax included.
Lisa Germano’s landmark 1994 album is a prescient yet unsettling listen. A record that explores themes of stalking, sexual harassment, anxiety and the female experience, word of mouth has only grown since its release, & now widely seen as a classic of its time.
A record that is as vital a statement today as when first released, Lisa is unflinching and unbowed throughout 'Geek The Girl', giving a platform to the silenced, or as she says, “people who are stuck but want to go somewhere else.” Writing with a raw, emotional honesty - sometimes from a kowtowing perspective - she holds little back. An incredible body of work, the atmosphere is heightened by a jaunting violin sound and her use of (with permission and after much deliberation) of a real 911 call in which a woman confronts an intruder in her own home. Her recurring use of Sicilian folk tune “Frascilita” as an interlude jars too, even though she intended for it to give the album some needed “comic relief."
