Me neither man but she lays a good simple foundation for the songs which is good cause the guitars are always all over the place.
Plus making simple basslines work with making most of her songs artsy poetry.
i can't recall her ever singing a song she's always yapping about Karen Carpenter or some other deep sh*t.
Still, SY is among my Fav bands.

i guess, i always considered Vf to be indie alternative with a touch of country music and blues but post punk doesn't come to mind.
Maybe that's just me though.
