This is a little more abstract (pretty metal crowd here) but if you listen to Bungle, Tom Waits, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, etc.. then you already know her work. She and Matthias Bossi are touring again, first the east coast then Europe, then hopefully, midwest.

Excellent composition, execution, and atmosphere.

New album drops today. Still You Lay Dreaming - Tales For The Stage II

Gyre, Wandering Secret, Waltz, and Echo are very representative of the whole album but there are some sharp turns, too.
