The Beginner's Guide to Rasputina

Rasputina is a cello-driven band that is very difficult to classify.
They call themselves "cello rock", which seems appropriate enough.
Band members are prone to dress up in Victorian-era clothing, and their peculiar songs often have a historical twist.
Melora Creager writes and sings (with a wonderfully warbally voice). Her sense of humor is very odd.
Their music is dark, heavy, and bizarre. I absolutely love it.

A simple formula was used in making this compilation: I chose my two favorite tracks from each of their releases. They are presented chronolotically.
Enjoy.
