Confessions of an Angry Pale Woman
Energised by her experience with Betty Has a Headache, Eliza opened herself up to new musical experimentations. After a few abortive attempts at defining her new sound (Scandanavian rap, ambient klezmer, deep house folk), she re-teamed with svengali Kenny DeBries and studied the 1995 pop charts for inspiration. Newly impressed by artists like Tori Amos and Fiona Apple, Eliza began working with producer/hitmaker Manny Cullins (an uncredited second engineer on Don Johnson's 1986 album "Heartbeat").
Convinced by Kenny DeBries to go back to her original surname to sound more authentic, the one-time pop diva refashioned herself as "Eliza Glitterbum": angry songstress extraordinaire.
Her 1996 album, entitled "Stuttering Chaos & Binky" in the UK and "Eliza Again" in the US was remarkable in that none of the twelve tracks had titles, a fact that confused radio station programmers worldwide and severely limited airplay.
