*New Music This Week*

I've been in great anticipation of the arrival of Martha Wainwright's inaugural full album release. Coming from such highly praised Canadian folk lineage... Sister of Rufus, daughter of Loudon and Kate - there had to be something there of a dignified musical wonder. ....And unsurprisingly my foresight was fitting - the album is dark but charming, difficult yet overwhelmingly melodic. In her voice I hear strains of something in between a throaty folk/alt-country rant of Patty Griffin or Lucinda Williams, to a somewhat ethereal Polly Jean Harvey...

But alas! - Words do not give justice....Buy, borrow or steal any of the following: "Factory" "These Flowers" or "B.M.F.A"...and you will see.
