The Bookworm Turns
Home-schooled nerd hits big with whimsical alt-pop
Making fun of home-schooled kids used to be funny. They’re incredibly awkward around people their own ages, they’ve never done drugs, and they don’t even get references to trashy reality-TV shows.

Singer/songwriter/pianist Alison Sudol, who goes by A Fine Frenzy, was one such home-schooled nerd. The self-proclaimed bookworm cites authors such as Lewis Carroll and Charles Dickens as influences for her whimsical alt-pop, which is similar to Feist and Keane, but with even more piano.
