Album Notes & Community Reviews

The British songwriter delivers a dark, intensely passionate alternative rock album characterized by heavy, jagged guitars and incredibly powerful vocal acrobatics. The emotionally volatile songwriting draws comparisons to Patti Smith and PJ Harvey, moving fluidly between aggressive, distorted outbursts and fragile, acoustic intimacy. The record solidified her reputation as an uncommonly fierce and dynamic modern rock vocalist.
