This is the debut album for the Singer/Songwriter from London. She plays a killer guitar (demonstrated on the opener - Rider To The Sea) She sites a pretty eclectric group as her influences: Captain Beefheart (best known for his experimental rock in the ‘60s), the jazz and soul singer Nina Simone and David Lynch (the movie producer – see Blue Velvet). Another Song I love off this album is Suzanne & I. It has a very James Bond feel.I've read comparisons to Patti Smith and P.J. Harvey, but personally, I don't hear it.
Really liked the interesting mix and her haunting voice. I say she's a mix between Martha Davis from the Motels and Shirley Bassey, who sang many of the James Bond songs.
