Song of the Day # 1,683 Jess Sykes & The Sweet Hereafter


Seattle's Jesse Sykes has a quite astonishing voice, something like Hope Sandoval cast utterly free from all restraints and taking flight. She's backed by loose, languid Psychedelia. It's been described, not inaccurately elsewhere as 'Spectral Folk Rock'. The overall effect is not too dissimilar from Tim Buckley's Blue Afternoon with a female lead. This is just out and quite gorgeous, you'd have assumed ahead of a new album, seven years since their last.
