Jenny Choi	Postcard Stories Double Zero (2003-09-23)

Jenny Choi began her journey in singer-songwriting in Champaign, IL, but relocated to her hometown Chicago. Choi collaborated and shared bills with local favorite acts such as the Baldwin Brothers (TVT) and KIM, while also touring and opening for diverse acts from Jill Sobule and Dan Bern to Dan Littleton of Ida, Seam and even Fabulous Disaster (Fat Wreck Chords). Her extensive touring experiences also included joining Emm Gryner (of David Bowie fame) for the first ever Asian American Singer Songwriter Showcase. Most recently, Choi founded and coordinated the Asians In Rock (AIR) tour, featuring over fifteen bands for a 17-city tour across the Midwest, East and West Coasts. This third record, "Postcard Stories," was recently engineered and produced by Brendan Gamble (of Champaign's Private Studios) and Greg Norman (of Chicago's Electrical Audio). The collection of songs were so thematically united in its approach to heartache and nostalgia that Choi wrote a short short (aka "postcard story": a story not to exceed 150 words) to accompany each song. The resulting product is an eleven-song mini epic that traverses rue and regret over an urban landscape. This is Choi's songwriting at her most developed and mature; a much more cohesive and self-realized effort in melding her signature keyboard-based indie pop with dreamy melancholy than in previous efforts.
