The Milk-eyed Mender

Description

Soul-enhancing dynamic range, the voice of an old one in a young one’s body with a harp of gold. J-News’s hulloa to the world at large. Newsom’s childlike voice brings an unstudied grace to an innocent setting of songs, and such quirkiness is hard to find among most guitar-driven indie acts.
