Only suburban New Jersey could spawn sounds so sick --
Nowottny's music is like something that crawled out of the mucky
passages of the Meadowlands, the product of industrial waste and
cattails. Nowottny's voice is distinctive, a more mannered PJ
Harvey or female version of Nick Cave, her drawled phrasing is
that of a child birthed by Kate Bush but then adopted by Meredith
Monk. Her goth attitude, much more prevalent in earlier recordings,
is tempered by the Daniel Johnston effect, namely of not-quite
random air organ melodies cascading through a song. Her lyrics
are (I think) still pretty juvenile, but she's certainly persevered
and left the most overtly gothic themes behind. Disc two is mostly
instrumentals, like twisted, clunky versions of Kitaro or funhouse
echoes. [RE]
