Four tracks. All folk, all the time. Musical style is like Mazzy Star, but the voice is an octave lower. It’s a warm and comfortable collection of songs that works better in the fall than the summer. Maybe she is from somewhere cold, though. Ah, Brighton. Yeah, I guess it is cold there.
“Lover Gone” must really be hard to sing sober. It’s full of lament and really needs the accompaniment of flying photo frames and whiskey bottles, but what are ya gonna do?
“Milk and Blood” is a little more composed and will work for acoustic PJ Harvey fans. Or perhaps Bitch and Animal. This song reminds me of their song “Traffic.”
“Revision” gets a little more cheery and is screaming to be remixed into a dance number. That piano really makes the song work. It’s one you can play for your parents too.
“The Conversationalist” has the same guitar as a Club 8 song. Same style, I guess. As this EP progresses, it becomes less folky and more modern. Great for people like me, but if you want something stripped down you’ll have mixed feelings. These songs can’t help but develop complexity as they are traversed. This natural talent should not be reined in.
