about
Kimberly Freeman Productions and Nebulost Studios are proud to present One-Eyed Doll's new album "Break." Break is the third album from the Austin based power trio led by super heroine Kimberly Freeman. The album features 12 songs that showcase Kimberly's stunning voice and innovative rock guitar style backed by an unbreakable rhythm section including Jason Rufuss Sewell (aka Junior) on Drums. Freeman's songwriting is unrelenting touching on subjects as harrowing as child abuse (Cinder Block,) social injustice (New Orleans,) and love that ends in murder (Murder Ballad.) This intensity is balanced with light-hearted songs like "Beautiful Freak" a love song to her unique fans and "Bumble Bee" about a young girl's first encounter with the seemingly friendly insect. Break is a must-hear album for any music lover. It's a timeless work of art sure to win over even the most cynical of listeners. A modern masterpiece.

ALBUM REVIEW
by Sean Cleas
Editor in Chief: INSITE MAGAZINE
“I did it for love. I did it because I knew you’d want it all someday. I did it for love. Murder was the only way.” – "Murder Ballad"
Ever since I was turned on to One-Eyed Doll a few years ago by INsite’s Food Editor, Marsha Mann, I’ve loved seeing them live. It’s as much a theatrical experience as it is a rock show. One thing I’ve always been saddened by was the fact that their studio work really never stood up to the performances. With 2010’s Break One-Eyed Doll has finally turned in a studio recording that is as twisted, enchanting and real as their live show.
Break also introduces a new arrangement of One-Eyed Doll, from a two-piece guitar/drum set up to a three-member band. Kimberly Freemen (vocals/guitar) and PJ “Number Three” Evans (former drummer, now bass) are joined full-time by the album’s producer Jason Rufuss “Junior” Sewell (drums).
The first three tracks set the tone on the album. “Airplane Man” is an oddly radio-friendly offering that perked my ears up instantly. With “Beautiful Freak,” One-Eyed Doll proves just why they’ve gotten top honors as Austin’s Best Punk Band in the Austin Music Awards for the last two years. “Murder Ballad” is a disturbingly beautiful love song.
The guitar-driven kick-the-door-down One-Eyed Doll that people are accustomed to hearing doesn’t arrive on Break until the fourth song “See Jane Run.” Songs like the title track and “Suckerfish” also follow the band’s tried and true metal sound.
Of course, storytelling is always a big part of the live experience, and Break features a few personal journey songs. “Cinderblock” tells the story of a 10-year old girl essentially raising herself while dealing with an alcoholic father. And the live staple “New Orleans,” the true story of a boy dying in Freeman’s arms, has been captured well with a heartbeat-like rhythm behind it. Then there’s the dark “Murder Suicide.” The album ends with the six-minute epic ballad “Resurrection.”
The song that is most out of place on the album is also the track that the album wouldn’t feel complete without. Anyone who’s seen OED live knows there’s a humor aspect to balance out the dark undercurrent that runs along most of Freeman’s lyrics. So, a tongue-in-cheek country song called “Redneck Love Song” provides the comic relief on Break.
The title song is my favorite track. It’s a fitting song as “Break” is about coming into your own. No longer being confined by what is expected. “And I gave you silence. I gave you everything. And I’ll break my silence. I’m breaking everything. “ I have to admit, Break is not what I thought I was getting into when I popped the CD in. It’s much, much more.
The production-work by Sewell is great. Long-time fans may object that this album is “too polished” but I think it’s a wonderful representation of this band’s body of work. It’s real. That’s probably the most important thing. The songs are honest and on Break he was able to provide a professional recording without compromising the integrity of the songs.
This could be the album that introduces the rest of the world to One-Eyed Doll. All the pieces are in place. It very likely could, well, break the band. Find out more about One-Eyed Doll by visiting their website at www.oneeyeddoll.com.
If you'd like to listen to or purchase Break (or any of the albums in One-Eyed Doll's discography for that matter), the price is up to you. They are inviting people to name their price for the downloads. Here's a link - music.oneeyeddoll.com.

Lately I'm feeling cold and lonely
Lately I'm feeling bad
Who made the world so cold and lonely
Who made the world so sad
Who made the world so sad
Last night he said he really loved me
Last night forever began
Tonight I sleep on a tear-stained pillow
Why did I kill my man
Why did I kill my man
I did it for love
I did it cause I knew you'd want it all someday
I did it for love
Murder was the only way
The only way
I was his first
His first obsession
He was my camera man
I could have been with him forever
Why did I kill my man
Why did I kill my man
I did it for love
I did it cause I knew you'd want it all someday
I did it for love
Murder was the only way
The only way - Track Name: See Jane Run

See Jane
See Jane run
See Jane run away
See Jane

See Jane commit murder

See Jane smile
Where is all her hair
See Jane
See Jane die
Sitting in a chair - Track Name: Cinderblock
-
Cinderblock
Locked in my room
Hiding under the bed
Can't seem to quiet
The screaming in my head
Daddy is drinking
He's angry again
Crawl out the window
He'll be out cold by ten
Walking downtown
Singing songs to myself
Wishing that I
Could be somebody else
A man on the sidewalk
Who's been there since dawn
Asks for a dime
And he sings me this song
This town isn't big enough for the two of us
This town isn't big enough for the two of us
This town isn't big enough for the two of us
So goodbye
Back at the trailer
It's quiet and dim
Daddy's asleep
With a bottle of gin
I see my reflection
In the mirror again
Bruises and scars
Hows it hurts to be ten
This town isn't big enough for the two of us
This town isn't big enough for the two of us
This town isn't big enough for the two of us
So goodbye
From the shelves that he made
I take a cinderblock
I life it up high
Such a heavy rock
Above daddy's head
I hold my liberty
As I let it drop
This is what I sing
This town isn't big enough for the two of us
This town isn't big enough for the two of us
This town isn't big enough for the two of us
So goodbye - Track Name: Break
-
Play me like a guitar boy
Play me like a pretty song
Tell me to be quiet boy
Tell me not to be too long
I gave you silence
And I gave you everything
I break my silence
And I'm breaking everything
Take me like one of your pills
Take me like I'm heroin
Take me to get higher boy
I'll help you put the needle in
I gave you silence
And I gave you everything
I break my silence
And I'm breaking everything - Track Name: Bumble Bee
-
Bumble bee
Wild and free
Wants to be
Friends with me
Playful bee
Chasing me
Takes a seat
On my knee
Savage bee
Stabbing me
Repeatedly
So bloody - Track Name: Redneck Love Song
-
When I'm drivin my pick-up
I feel like a man
When I whistle at a lady
I feel like a man
When I'm holdin my shotgun
I feel like a man
But I feel like a little boy
When I'm holdin yer hand
When I'm drankin whiskey
I feel like a man
I'm the king of my castle
When I feel like a man
When I'm whippin my youngins
I feel like a man
But I feel like a little boy
When I'm holdin yer hand
I'm a man's man in a man's world
But you make me blush like a little girl
I wanna pick you flowers and buy you stuff
Yer like cold beer can't get enough
When I'm at the hoochie club
I feel like a man
When I see a lady dance
I feel like a man
When I give her that dollar
I feel like a man
But I feel like a little boy
When I'm holdin yer hand
I'm a man's man in a man's world
But you make me blush like a little girl
I wanna pick you flowers and buy you stuff
Yer like cold beer can't get enough - Track Name: Murder Suicide
-
Why do I try
To live with these lies
I've run but I can't hide
From a murder-suicide
The truth has been so dark
And pain has left its mark
Somewhere it still resides
A murder-suicide
God take me I pray
Before I rot away
For I've already died
In a murder-suicide
Why do I cry
For the blood that's long since dried
Don't want to be the bride
Of a murder-suicide
God take me I pray
Before I rot away
For I've already died
In a murder-suicide - Track Name: Sucker Fish
-
Of all the things
That have ever sucked
You were the suckiest
You were the suckiest
And to be part of
Your sucky plot
I was the luckiest
I was the luckiest
Oh Sucker Fish
You sucked my heart out
Oh Sucker Fish
Life is sucky without
Without you
Your little mouth
Upon the glass
It made me giggle
You always made me giggle
You sucked the life
Out of yourself
Now you won't wiggle
Why don't you wiggle
Oh Sucker Fish
You sucked my heart out
Oh Sucker Fish
Life is sucky without
Without you - Track Name: New Orleans
-
I took a walk in a crowded town
Where if you breathe too deeply
You're likely to drown
But the airs not as thick as the sin I found
In New Orleans.
Rainbow necks on drunken girls
Who'd sell their souls for a string of pearls
I hope there's no place in the world
Like New Orleans
New Orleans is a spooky place
You can see the devil smiling in every face
Voodoo babies put their pins in place
In New Orleans
I took a walk in a crowded town
I saw a dark boy get beaten down
I watched him turn to a reddish brown
In New Orleans
I held his hand and I sang my song
I was lying when I told him there was nothing wrong
I won't be back for sometime long
Not in New Orleans
New Orleans is a spooky place
You can see the devil smiling in every face
Voodoo babies put their pins in place
In New Orleans - Track Name: Resurrection
-
Haunt my dreams
Do your best
Rest in peace
So peace in rest
Sing to me
A lullaby
Strange to see
An angel cry
Shackles of
A suicide
Chain you to
A widowed bride
Patience please
I've long since died
Resurrect
Me to your side
