Erica Ordinary is a twenty three year old girl from the suburbs. She grew up in an ordinary double brick house with a courtyard and a garage and a dungeon and many collected things. Now she lives in an ordinary house with a backyard and a stable and two very tall palm trees. She wears her heart on the sleeve of her favourite red coat and keeps the key hidden in the left of her favourite red shoes.

Like most twenty-somethings, Erica Ordinary doesn't know quite what to do with herself, so while she waits she tells stories, sings songs and follows boys on the train.

Erica Ordinary recorded her first demo in her kitchen with a doona, laptop, microphone borrowed from a friend and a computer program she really has no idea how to use. She has just spent the summer holidays and part of Easter in a very good friend's bedroom, and the result is her debut EP, Don't Fall in Love with Engineers. This will be available to purchase as soon as she earns enough money to get it pressed, but in the meantime several tracks can be heard online.

rating:  3/5

Breaking Up on the Telephone
rating:  4/5
I was totally dawn in by this spare, haunting track. There’s something slightly forceful and theatrical in Erica’s delivery, and for a moment I fe...
