LISA PAPINEAU – RED TREES Label:Sargent House After having been in one of the best (and sadly unknown) bands of the 90s (Pet, for those keeping the score at home) and after guest starring in way too many bands (this woman is a proper genre hopper), Lisa Papineau delights us with a second solo album, Red Trees.

By the end of the session we were truly bummed to see them go but gladly we have these video memories to keep us satiated. All three are from their stupendous...
