Jenny Hoyston - Isle of

Isle Of’ is Jenny Hoyston’s first full-length under her own name. Jenny plays guitar, trumpet and sings in San Francisco’s angular rockers Erase Errata.
From the moment Sonic Youth took Erase Errata under their wing as openers on a US tour, it was apparent that they were not just another riot grrrl group from the Pacific Northwest. As four women in a band whose music has been described as experimental, noisy yet danceable punk, they challenged stereotypes of what an all-female band from this region could sound like.
All sides of Jenny Hoyston are evident on ‘Isle Of’. Jenny started writing songs including just dirty guitar sounds and drum machine. The album includes songs that sound like they could be Joan Jett, if she were on the Simple Machines label ("Spell D-O-G," "Structure"), contemporary electro, a 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. Equal parts Patti Smith and Robert Pollard, Jenny has a knack for quipping intelligent, spur-of-the-moment pop songs while staying politically outspoken.
