Beautiful voice (though she could use a better producer). Regardless, I think you'll like her. Heard her on "All Songs Considered" Barry: unrelated to this particular group, but check out Keren Ann (http://www.myspace.com/kerenann). Beautiful voice (though she could use a better producer).

Seriously. Who in their right mind uses the WSJ to find new rock? Next time, youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qTprx8UKI4&mode=related&search= ~~~ As noted in the post, I was a fan of these guys back in 2006, and they made my "Best of" list for the year. The WSJ was merely a reminder of that. Barry:

The American musical gamut is about a half inch wide ('cept for yourself, et al). Your story takes me back about 10 years when the English group Pulp had taken Europe by storm. I had a friend visit from Denmark and we went to see them on South Street in Philly for about $10. There were about 100 people there. I had never heard of them, and he couldn't believe we could walk in and stand at the stage. :) Barry…Mike’s post gives you an idea of why they only sold 44K copies in the US.

It's thoughtful, musically interesting, and playful in a retro way.
