	[fmSound] Reviews - Rasputina "Cabin Fever" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Melora Creager and her posse of cello players (K. Coperwaite and Nina Bornant) are making their debut on Instinct records with their third release, Cabin Fever.
		Creager’s voice alternates between deadpan Liz Phair delivery and airy sweetness often in the same song.
		And just to prove that the multi-talented Creager’s Goth-oriented music is not dark and depressing, there is an interlude in the middle of the CD titled “PJ +Vincent and Matthew+Bjork,” about the uberartsy couples (actor/musician Vincent Gallo and girlfriend PJ Harvey and artist Matthew Barney and singer Bjork) on a double date.

		After the concert, Melora Creager, vocalist, songwriter, cello player and creator of Rasputina, said that it is difficult for them to make it down here, but that they make an effort to do so.
		Creager and Keating were dressed somewhat like rogue Victorian dolls in corsets.
		Creager wore an interesting arrangement of flowers and feathers in her hair, which made her look a bit nomadic.

		The band consists of Melora Creager, Julia Kent, and Agnieszka Rybska, three cellists who perform wearing turn of the century underwear.

	RADAR REPORT: Fourth
		Rasputina's Melora Creager pulls strings to create goth rock that is both beautiful and bizarre.
		Formed eleven years ago (circa 1895, Rasputina time) under the direction of headmistress/singer/songwriter Melora Creager (who used to moonlight as Nirvana's cellist), the band consists of three cellists, all wearing eerie white dresses, who use both beautiful melodies and menacing moods in songs that conjure up a strange and dimly lit Victorian world.

	Morphizm.com -- Rasputina's Cabin Fever
		And although Creager's vocal abilities aren't as strong as either of them, "Sweet Water Kill (The Ocean Song)" floats out of your headphones the way so many of Kate Bush's airy tales have in the past, while "Clipped" sounds like something right of PJ Harvey's pre-New York stories backlog.
		Except, that is, when Creager gets emotional over the various moving cello and vocal lines found on "Remnants of Percy Bass" ("I try to help him how I can/But he has forgotten who I am/Remember, some things are not made to last").
		Plus, Melora Creager's version of the Feminine is a refreshing alternative to the distilled (through Pepsi?) corporate version of J.Lo, Britney, et.

		If Rasputina's Melora Creager ever decided to throw off her allegiance to the cello and defect to the downtuned guitar and shredding wattage, she'd make Kittie look like Jessica Simpson by contrast.
		Luckily for them (and perhaps for all of us), Creager is committed to a bleak yet joyful gothic-tinged romanticism as filtered through her amplified two-cello-and-drum chamber group, Rasputina.
		Creager got her first notices backing up Nirvana on their last tour, subsequently putting together Rasputina with classified ads in New York papers.

		Add to that their unusual sense of humor, gift for brevity, and knack for offbeat subject matter (such as "Howard Hughes", "Kate Moss", and "Transylvanian Concubine"), and this truly is alternative music we're talking about here.
		In fact, they make an unintentionally ironic statement: while being unplugged is the latest trend for volume-heavy rockers, Rasputina are plugging in instruments normally associated with classical contexts.
		ongwriter/group leader Melora Creager — known previously for touring with Nirvana on their final tour — sings with a delicately quivering vibrato that adds an unusual but appropriate vocal presence throughout the record.

		Melora Creager refuses to acknowledge the cello as merely a classical instrument.
		As Creager’s cello dances with drummer Jonathan TeBeest and cellist Zoë Keating’s confident rock display, Rasputina’s equilibrium of both intellect and humor is divinely twisted to produce something daring and tantalizing.
		In the late 1980s, Creager left her humble abode in Kansas to attended the Parsons School of Design in Manhattan.
