Listening Post

This is what I had to say about Lauren Pritchard right after seeing her in Spring Awakening a couple of years back:

"In particular, Lauren Pritchard is a revelation. Hearing her breathy, husky, yet completely vulnerable and feminine voice is like sinking into a warm and luxurious bath -- or having a little girl cup her hands around your ears while leaning in to tell you a secret. It's that life-affirming."

God how I love this girl, and I'm thrilled that she finally has a full-length album due at the end of the month.

Here's Painkillers.
