So…this is performance. I don’t want to build it up too much but I honestly don’t think I could – even if I started throwing hyperbole all over the place. I am just smitten.
Good Got!!! When the two of them do their little banshee back of the throat voice thing – it’s like they are reaching down my throat and tickling my tummy.
LP will be playing the SXSW festival so if you’re lucky enough to be there – I’d suggest not missing out on her shows.
Flo looks beautiful enough to be fought over by King Kong himself in this bizarrely beautiful video that would make both Luis Buñuel and Grace Jones happy.
Zola Jesus is not a mainstay in my music collection but her upcoming album, Conatus, has the makings of a great soundtrack to a rainy day when I’m not in the mood to deal with other people in my general vicinity. Today, for example, is the perfect day to stream her release thanks to NPR’s “First Listen” series.
My first thoughts: She sounds like a less-powerful Florence Welch without the octave range – but there is something very appealing about her voice, even in its monotony. Below is one of my favorite singles from the album so far. What are your thoughts?
