HoboEye Music:
Jenny Hyston, San Francisco, California


All sides of Jenny Hoyston are evident on her new release under her
own name, entitled Isle Of. Jenny started writing songs including just
dirty guitar sounds and drum machine - as is evident in previous
recordings prior to her Paradise Island Latitudes release. The Latitudes
session helped her to discover new outlets and directions for her songs
and she has since expanded to recording in Portland (Oregon), Detroit
and San Francisco with a variety of collaborators, she was able to not
only concentrate on her electronic side but also full-band arrangements.

The album includes songs that sound like it could be Joan Jett, if she
were on the Simple Machines label ("Spell D-O-G," "Structure"),
contemporary electro, â la Le Tigre or Tracy + The Plastics ("Everyone's
Alone"), or new American folk ("Even In This Day And Age").

Much like her tunes, Jenny can't be easily pigeonholed and thank
goodness for that. She's an ace songwriter, capable of frank emotion and
playfulness. Like a Robert Pollard record, her tuneful sensibility shines
through whether it's experimental bedroom pop, or full-on (punk) rock.
In support of Isle Of Jenny plans on touring this autumn, both in Europe
and North America.
