Painkiller

Jenette Mackie was trained classically at the Crane School of Music in New York, but chose to leave her curriculum early to pursue her own independent study with a private tutor in Rochester, NY. Soon after, she began building on her vision of twisting the classical cello to a darker aspect of music. In Fall 2005, Mackie finished work on a self-titled three-song demo, which received regular airplay on WBER, the premier independent radio station in Rochester. As of May 2006, Mackie had finished pre-production work her upcoming full-length, Painkiller, and fled the dismal wastes of western New York to make a new home in sunny Portland, Oregon.

Polly Panic invites listeners to step out of their comfortable, ordinary worlds and into the psyche they ignore. The music combats emotions from our experiences and brings all things dark & obscure to the light by putting fear & panic themselves on trial.
