On One Cell in the Sea, A Fine Frenzy frontwoman Alison Sudol conjures the sort of musical wonderland that one might expect from a 22-year-old with fiery red locks: a colorful world of bemusement and sentimentality. The melodies on this debut are breathless, more Rufus than Tori, imbued with piano swells.
