Jetta G. Martin ’05 follows “Springs” with a solo performance in “Emergence,” demonstrating an astounding ability for intricate footwork. Her complex choreography brings order to a cacophonous blend of Bjork and Kelis, “Oceania,” with increasingly dramatic spirals around the stage that mirror the growth implied in the title...

Case has a talented for shifting her highly recognizable vocal chops to match different feels; the record never feels stagnant, although I do wish it were slightly longer so that the musicians could stretch out a little more.
