Ultimately she comes across as a touch slow, as if she'd been hit in the head with a blunt object before she got to the studio.
Or, at least, as if she should have been.
Aye, she certainly sounds a touch slow. What a weird song.
I think Miss Johannsson was listening to some old Sinead O'Connor albums and figured "I can do that". She can't, but I guess she's got the clout to at least try.
That is a cool video though. Cool in a weird sort of way. What the hell was Salman Rushdie doing there?
I know this is a bit off topic, but I have to ask...is their first record (I'm assuming it was their first) as good as Frances? I have a pretty limited new music budget and the bookends to Frances The Mute are two I've been considering.
Deloused is one of the best albums of the decade. So, yea, get it.
Pretty cool stuff. Kind of nasty, electronica sorta thing. Hard to explain..It's like a cross between a David Lynch movie and a porno.

My Morning Jacket has a new album out on June 10 entitled "Evil Urges".
Can't wait..they are one of if not the best band in the world right now. Dying to see them live.
