Local CD Pick: Chloe

CHLOE — ‘ONLY EVERYONE’

Blending alternative Christian music with ambient, new age, folk and pop, SLO High grad Chloe Andresen seems to come from the Jars of Clay/Bruce Cockburn school, which values good spiritual music that can appeal to wide audiences. Andresen’s layered vocals channel Ohio’s Over the Rhine and are sure to garner some comparisons to Sarah McLachlan. The CD doesn’t come off as overproduced — the curse of many Christian albums. But, unlike Jars of Clay’s “Flood” or Cockburn’s work, which are subtle enough to appeal to nonbelievers, Andresen’s lyrics leave little to interpretation, which will limit (presumably by choice) her audience to Christians seeking deeply spiritual lyrics.
