Original Riot Grrl Katie Jane Garside is back with Queen Adreena's third album, The Butcher And The Butterfly, which she claims is the final part of a trilogy of albums dealing with exploitation, sexuality, innocence, childhood and the things people do to make it through the night. No surprise then to find her in explosive form...

The former Daisy Chainsaw frontwoman kicks things off with the highly-charged Suck and Medicine Jar, both of which are amongst the best songs in her 14 year career, blasting along with Crispin Gray's guitar.

Ascending Stars is another heavy track, with Garside having to scream her lungs out to be heard, though she's unsurprisingly successful. The first time Queen Adreena let the pace drop is actually a bit dull in Join The Dots, although there is an undercurrent of threat in there, ready to break out with a fuzzy guitar riff halfway through.

Pull Me Under is much better, with Garside's voice sounding dreamy and ethereal over the top of a chugging beat and building up to a catchy chorus. Birdnest Hair is an lilting acoustic song that is completely blown away by the explosive start to next song Princess Carwash, and there are a few too many fillers on this over-long album.

There are obviously lots of comparisons to be made with fellow Grrl Courtney Love, especially with the howling In Red,though there is a much more fragile element to her voice than her high profile counterpart. Ironically, the music is mostly heavier than Love's recent output, more like Pretty On The Inside than Celebrity Skin for sure. Gray's guitars are certainly the Butcher to Garside's angry Butterfly.

FM Doll was a slightly strange choice for lead single, as it is not chart material either in terms of music or lyrics,which are typically close to the edge. It is Garside's take on the tragedy of seven-year-old American beauty pageant star Jon-Benet Ramsay who was sexually-assaulted and murdered in her own home, and is very dark, disturbing and compelling but certainly not a radio-friendly unit shifter. Much like the rest of this beautifully angry album then...
