one of the most brilliant singer-songwriter records this year just came out. found her music seeing her open for Bright Eyes last year. The album hits all the right notes, itās ethereal and lush but also intimate, carried by her amazing voice. There are echoes of Julia Holter and Joanna Newsom but the songwriting feels more āgroundedā than either of those artists if that makes sense. Check it out and see her play at Union Pool if youāre in NYC!

Thereās something about warm weather that reminds me of listening to Marina in 2013. It just feels blissful to always return to your indie girly-pop era.š

This has been one of the most formative and transformative albums to enter my little world, and it has seen me through many iterations of growth over the past 10 plus years. All of Angelās work is stunning in its own right, and I admire her and the way she continues to experiment with her sound and new genres, but her debut albumĀ Half Way HomeĀ will forever live inside the most tender place in my heart. The control she has over her voice is mystifying; she yodels, croons, shrieks and hums. And the writing is as profound as the melodies are. I couldnāt possibly pick a favorite from the album, but some of my current favorites areĀ Safe In the Womb, Free, and You Are Song. Bonus:Ā This softly powerful performance Angel gave ofĀ MirandaĀ at Grant Street Bakery in 2012.
