The American singer-songwriter's debut album introduces her highly distinctive, gothic approach to traditional Americana. Utilizing delicate fingerpicking, chilling multi-tracked vocal harmonies, and an overwhelming sense of reverb, the stark recordings breathe eerie new life into timeless themes of murder, ghosts, and doomed romance.
