Thanks for pointing these out, Paul. Anneli Drecker is a long-time favorite. It is great to see her doing something again. I'm liking this new one so far. Much more of an orchestral sound than previous efforts, as you mentioned. Her voice is as great as ever. I'm also enjoying the most recent Of Monsters and Men - Beneath The Skin. I haven't had enough time with it yet to really get a handle on it. But their previous effort, My Head Is An Animal, was my favorite album of 2012. - -Rodney > Paul Jensen > June 7, 2015 at 7:10 AM > I hate to be bossy, but you simply HAVE to take a few minutes to check out > these wonderful recent releases!
