I think I heard her for the first time when she was in Malinky and they were touring in Sweden, because I have a CD signed by her and the rest of the band. I'm very fond of the A Pocket of Wind Resistance album.
It's absolutely gorgeous! Some lovely nature imagery, of course, and the simplicity of the voice and piano works very well. I especially like the poetic geology in 'Siccar Point', which I've just listened to. Lovely.
She puts me in mind of Claudia Schmidt -- local hero when I first heard her 40 years ago. (mind boggles). She plays guitar and dulcimer, wandering freely between folk and jazz.
Both of them have such an effortless range. My experience of singing is like traveling a well-cleared woodland trail. Their voices sound like they're flying 8 meters above the ground.
