Tortuous folk
A fan of Sonic Youth and Charley Patton, the one-of-a-kind gospel-voiced American immerses her ancestors’ blues witchcraft into a modern-day sound pot.
Behind the poetry of this French moniker hides the furiously-romantic neurosis of a young American artist. Before exorcising her fears in three inconsolably beautiful albums, she honed her tortured teenage years in her native Indiana on the rough leather of the Blues. The result is an emotional and melodious playground bereft of any conclusion that clings to the darkness. With a haunted voice reminiscent of Anthony & The Johnsons’ lunar flights of lyricism, this is a brand of folk that could make giants reel. Confused and gritty tenderness that should not be left unattended!
