welch79 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 any of you ever heard of her? she's only 21 apparently but these two albums would seem to belie that fact. i've recently come across her and on a whim bought her most recent album, "tell me," that she released last week. after three solid days in heavy rotation, i had to go get her first release "with blasphemy so heartfelt." check her out.

solace Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 just saw her open for JTE on Monday, lovely set. would have liked a bit more variety in her set tempo wise, but still really gorgeous stuff. her guitarist is pretty hot shit too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I also saw her open for JTE in Chicago. As described she is very pleasant and sounds remarkably like Neko Case, but performs without her clever between song banter. I have nothing bad to say about her, but I also found her remarkably neutral in most ways. She is good in the same way many other female vocalists are good, singing mid tempo songs about relationships and such. Her band was good, but also not that exciting. I have not heard her records. I doubt I will either. I thought the Chicago audience was somewhat rude to her, but then I think lots and lots of loud talking during opening acts is rude. Call me old fashioned. Then again maybe nothing she was doing was really getting people's attention. Some of the audience was mildly interested in her, while the rest were talking to their friends or getting hammered in anticipation fo seeing Justin. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CortezTheKiller Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Never seen her in the live setting, but I really like her latest Tell Me as well as her debut With Blasphemy, So Heartfelt. Her vocals bring to mind Cat Power and/or Jenny Lewis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borracho Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 i like her new cd ok, but her voice seems to have a little bit of what i call "zooey deschanel-flat" sound to it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I enjoy some of her stuff, like her cover of "Words of Love." She was discovered and nurtured by Dan Auerbach, which is a good endorsement! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nobody Girl Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 She opened for the Avett Brothers in D.C. on Friday. Unfortunately I only caught her last song, but I really liked it. I'll have to check out more of her stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 "Our Hearts Are Wrong" is a song I like a great deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tugmoose Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 First heard her a couple years back with this kinda trippy cover of "Words Of Love." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Found her live set to be lackluster and kinda boring, but the songs were nice. Her guitarist reminded me of Nels a little bit - enough to be interesting, but not enough to annoy me.

I'll have to check out more of her stuff.Hey, we were at that show! And I found her to be incredibly dull and lackluster. I liked her songs well enough, but aside from her awesome shoes, there was nothing remarkable or energetic or even personable about her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ViaBuffalo Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 She was suppose to open for The Avett Brothers for their show last Sunday but she apparently went on Letterman monday. She sent her brother David Mayfield. Weird guy. Little too country for my taste but he had some.... character. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
