Sugar Cookie is not actually a band. It’s more of a songwriter and producer’s project, helmed by Dan Sorensen. Interestingly, Sorensen first recorded drum tracks that he then sent on to four songwriters: Bryan Thomas, Ben Karis, Martha Kronholm, and Troy Pohl. The seven tracks were completed with the addition of a few other area musicians jumping into the pool. For an album that had none of the musicians performing together, it does offer a cohesive ensemble sound on individual songs. Given the concept at hand, the set plays like a compilation, with the sound varying widely depending on who wrote and is singing each of the particular songs. There’s everything from the pseudo Prince of Thomas’ “Anythang” to the fuzzy throb of Pohl’s “Big, Bright and Loud.” The most resonant songs were the two penned by Kronholm, offering hypnotically inviting layers of alluring mystery. If this was Sorensen’s way of auditioning future writing partners, hang on to Martha Kronholm and build a full album around her.
