Album Notes & Community Reviews

Departing significantly from the gothic country of her earlier work, the Seattle songwriter steers her band towards a heavier, distinctly psychedelic sound. 'Marble Son' features sprawling, fuzzed-out guitar solos from Phil Wandscher, providing a surprisingly heavy backdrop for Sykes's spectral vocals.
