Alina Simone

In the "girl with guitar" genre, a new voice is emerging, one Alina Simone. Her pared-down guitar evokes early PJ Harvey and Cat Power. Her debut EP "Prettier in the Dark" is available over at Fractured Discs. It's rare for me to be captivated so quickly, but the pair of mp3's available below have done exactly that.

+ Love and Rockets.mp3
+ Siberia.mp3

okay, you roped me in with pj and cat references. i'll give it some listens. have you always had those quotes on the left side/bottom? maybe i just never noticed - i like them a lot.
"Good is the enemy of great."
-- Voltaire
bono uses that quote all the time - i shoulda known he ripped it off from someone else!
peace
