Repent, Harlequin!

Repent, Harlequin! is the solo project of Glitch Doll, vocalist and guitarist of Mona Lisa Override. Each track is built around a book that shaped who she is — from Kafka's The Trial to Plath's The Bell Jar, from Burgess's A Clockwork Orange to Camus's The Myth of Sisyphus. The entire album was written and recorded in a single weekend, with Glitch Doll handling all vocals and instruments herself. A few minor contributions were added later, but the core of the record is one person, alone, translating the books that marked her into sound. The album is called Chapter One: fourteen songs, fourteen books, from Gilman's Herland to Kobo Abe's The Woman in the Dunes.
