In an interview with www.spinner.com, Sudol shared how she came up with the name "(I) had a bunch of books open on a table, "a fine frenzy" jumped off a page of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' [Shakespeare] and it was just right, though every now and then I wonder if it's a bit ... flowery."
Sudol developed the sound of A Fine Frenzy - hypnotic piano arrangements under classic American melody fused into irresistible, atmospheric songs with the power to reach around the world.
The second album, Bomb in a Birdcage, was released on 8 September 2009. A third album, Pines, was released in 2012.

Coming Around
A Fine Frenzy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cutting new cloth,
From our grandparents' patterns
We have big dreams
And big dream takers
They come in at the sun
Just to see what would happen
Faster,
Moving faster
Pushing harder,
Falling forwards and backwards
Of all these converts
Engage our patterns
Folding empires
Fighting golddiggers' down
We're coming, we're coming around
We're coming, we're coming around
Yeah, we're coming, we're coming around
It's coming, it's coming around
It's coming, it's coming around
We seem to even be missing the start
No one else but you and me have a say
And we're coming, we're coming around
It's coming, it's coming around
We're coming.. We're coming around
It's coming.. It's coming around
The lyrics of A Fine Frenzy's song Coming Around is a discussion about change and transformation. The song describes a new beginning, the start of a new journey, and the journey is full of big dreams and a struggle for them. The phrase 'leather' refers to the material that was often used in the production of clothing, and the line 'cutting new cloth from our grandparents' patterns' refers to taking inspiration from the past and using it to create something new. The song is a metaphor for breaking from the past, moving forward, and creating something new.
The song talks about how the journey is not an easy one, it involves falling forward and backward and fighting off obstacles along the way. The line 'Of all these converts, engage our patterns' suggests that while the change may come from individual initiative, it's when groups of people come together and engage with the change that it becomes a force, capable of 'folding empires' or taking down powerful entities. The phrase 'Fighting golddiggers down' is a call to resist the temptation to give way or sell out in the pursuit of success.
The recurring phrase "We're coming around...it's coming around," is an indication of hope and anticipation for what's to come. The lines "We seem to be missing the start. No one else but you and me have a say," suggest self-reliance, individualism and free choice while still being part of a community. It is about creating paths of one's own and living by it.

Well, I've been listening to her CD up and down a "million" times. I wasn't so keen at first but boy, I really love it now. The faster beat overall is just great. I do hope she'll visit Munich again, I'll be in the first row once more! xxx
