 It's not quite the splendour
of "Peek-A-Boo", but it's got something special. John Wilde has
very reasonably remarked that pop would be more interesting if all records had
grasshoppers bleating in the background. Well, it gives me great pleasure
to announce that this "Jar" contains the ribbetting of tiny frogs in
the background. Siouxsie sounds less like a Valkyrie than usual, her voice
sounds worn, lived in - it's uncanny. Singing about the draining of
emotion, like the draining of life from an insect in a jar, mourning the dried
husk of a relationship, Siouxsie could be human, she really could be. And
those frogs are completely wonderful.
