"This bitter little mouth is my only claim to fame," Mary Prankster declares near the end of this 10-cut, 19-minute EP. Less bitter than bemused and half-drunk, Prankster and band split the difference between Kim Deal's flat-affect delivery and the Violent Femmes' folk-punk jolt. Sometimes clever for cleverness's sake, Blue Skies Over Dundalk also occasionally displays a cutting wit and a deep knowledge of music, as on the white-blues parody "Student Loan." --Rickey Wright

"If you are a connoisseur of things sick and twisted like any John Waters movie ..., Russ Meyers films ..., Sandra Bernhardt, ... or Lene Lovich/Nina Hagen duets ... well my friend, this woman is for you."
Album Description
Mary Prankster can be described as alternative rock with a folky twang featuring bawdy, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, or as Mary herself likes to describe it, "cowpunk." Her songs have the feeling of a intelligent, bored, frustrated, sex-crazed, lovelorn, college-aged partier who enjoys pushing the boundaries of people whose boundaries need to be pushed.
