There are some gorgeous songs on her earlier albums, aren't there - a very dark beauty compared to the upbeat rock. And they're much more ecto. Sounds like I like the same songs as you - particularly 'Beautiful One,' 'Ice Water,' 'Trail of Grief,' 'Sunken Soldier's Ball' and the maddeningly lovely 'Lost and Found' which has that section sung by Kristin Fjellseth which is so pretty and then the melody isn't repeated, so I have to play the song over and over :) I'm not so into the next couple albums 'In Your Room' and acoustic 'Pure Air,' though 'Adore' is good and her version (the flute one) of schlock-opera faux-medieval 'Valley of the Queens' is surprisingly lovely. I hope to see her live someday :) These songs particularly ecto-y - Come Wander With Me - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23Z52sxUNgA Wonder - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKLJolIZ6Pg Lost and Found (no video) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXeNkXk-5As Valley of the Queens (no video) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRNDkKsCAH0 Rolf Peuker: > Yay, she's also my obsession in 2012. I saw her play live in May and bought the 'Everything is changing' after the show. I totally agree with your review, I even think the album is almost too catchy and radio-friendly in some places. > > Later I got her first "solo" album, Air by Agua de Annique (as she called her band then). It is much darker in mood, mostly >piano-driven, but I find it more intense. OK, some of the lyrics (like 'You Are Nice') may be a bit simplistic, but tracks like >'Ice Water', 'Sunken Soldiers Ball' or 'Lost and Found' can give me goosebumps. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:21:09 -0800 From: Neile Graham Subject: Torres Truly great stuff--someone Pitchfork? describes her as a cross between PJ Harvey and EMA. The album is available digitally but not physically yet. She's got a voice and she know how to use it. http://torrestorrestorres.com/ http://torrestorrestorres.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/torres-23/honey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdEHbL0yYiw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btxmm7LNqfg Check her out.
