Solo female artist, stripped down instrumentation, primarily piano, if treated, minimal with melodic vocals. Atmospheric mostly, much of it borders on experimental, but also more forceful in places that bring to mind Jarboe era Swans, but more like bent version of Cat Power or Joanna Newsom. A strange low-fi quality too, as if this was recorded on a ¼” reel and played back through a drainage tunnel. Cool stuff, hard to pigeonhole.

1) (3:29) slow pump organ
2) (5:36) chill atmospheric tones pick up as it progresses
3) (6:32) slow, minimal looped piano
4) (4:43) 6 notes looped, very piano vocals
5) (2:10) slower, repeated lyric, glacial
6) (5:42) more intense, bringing to mind Jarboe
7) (3:12) resonant piano strings, very early Sonic Youth
8) (4:53) lovely melody, minimal Jarboe’ish piano picks up
9) (5:03) high tinkling notes contrast, slow, sparse
