makes me think of kate bush, elsiane is another one that is a modern day artist that has a strange voice, the funny thing is it's not her real voice; she intentionaly does it for singing only. best to get a print of the lyrics though cuz if you arnt use to listening to her its really hard to hear what shes saying somtimes, but i think its great overall.
This sounds like something Loreena McKennitt might sing, feels like an ancient song, except Joanna's characteristic quirkiness (which I imagine all geniuses to have) makes it inimitable. The outtro is unreal.
Okay, I can understand why someone might say her voice is not "beautiful" because it's definitely an acquired taste (I love her voice personally, but I can understand)... but not interesting? That is just absurd. Her voice is NOTHING if not interesting! To say her voice is not interesting is saying it's generic or normal which is obviously like... a lie.
can't wait to see her in milwaukee 10/21/2007 w/ a 28 piece backing band!
i have 3rd row just left of center!
she has to play this song!
check out ROY HARPER 'stormcock' from 1971 and from the year before, COMUS 'first utterance' if you like psych-folk/freak-folk, whatever! warning COMUS is very dark- it's the strangest 'folkish' album i have ever heard.
also, check out the last two SCOTT WALKER LPs 'the drift' and 'tilt'
Ah, it's like she took bliss and made it music! I adore this sing even more than the ones on Ys, I hope it's a preview of what's to come on the album she said she was working on.
Wow! Can't wait till I get to hear the official release.. this sounds so gutsy and wild..love it, she's like a crazed and glorious banshee..In the best and most magically enchanting way! Is it out yet?
yes!;) i've been searching for this song on you tube once every day ever since she played it at request in Stockholm a few weeks ago...love it...she's amazing...and so is colleen...cheers for putting it up!
MERMAIDS! She's beautiful.
