She seems like prog-folk, if that even exists. |

Judge from an entire album I heard? I dislike her. Albums take priority over 1 song on Youtube. That was a nice song, 'Emily' is sh*te though. |

A)A voice which fits her music perfectly. B)She has fantastic harp playing skills(an infamously hard instrument to play) C)Great lyrics IMO, she has released 3 flawless albums and I love them more with every listen. Boobs went on a rant in the shoutbox about how Indie Folk and Newsoms connection to it and I wasn't having it. She sounds like a Folk artist lifted right from the 60s and I often compare her to some of my favs like Fairport Convention, and you know what? She's just as good. |

On Fire is one of the most beautiful, melancholic and emotionally-raw albums i've ever heard. I never get sick of listening to this album, it just sounds so captivating. You can really feel the pain and loneliness in Dean's voice at times, his voice sounds strange at first but you really grow to love it after a few listens and it just draws you in. I love his guitar style as well, it's simple yet effective and really adds to the melancholic tone of the album. Niaomi and Damon provide a really solid rhythm section throughout and even Niaomi's lead vocals on 'Another Day' sound really haunting and beautiful.
Let's simply put it this way, it's not an album you'd put on at a party. This is an album you should listen to on your own in your room, with headphones, staring at the walls or out the window and just wishing your life was better than it is. If you can listen to it that way you'll see how great it really is.

This is one from a while ago, I gave it 2 listens and thought that it wasn't anything special. If I recall rightly, the lyrics never really drew me in. I heard it was a headphones looking at the walls wishing everything was better type of album, but I never thought the lyrics were particularly thought provoking. I'm actually going to give it another listen now, I recently listened to American Football - S/T recently after deciding a while ago it wasn't anything special, not I really like it. It definitely deserves another chance, but I never got how people thought it was so emotional. The melodies seemed nice enough, but nothing really emotional. Again, this is just me trying to remember from a while back. *Opens Spotify*
EDIT: F*cks sake, I might have to eat my own words. I'm actually enjoying it a lot more than last time. 'Tell Me' is a beautiful song. Quote:
