Susanne Sundfør – The Silicone Veil (2012)

Susanne Sundfor - The Silicone Veil

She really pushes her vocal range on the Veil, and it works…
She is re-releasing her previous discs on the 7th April 2013. I deff recommend ‘The Brothel’ from 2010 if you haven’t already got it.

Erin McKeown - Manifestra

About time for some righteous activism music.
Who better than Erin to do it.
IMHO you have no option other than to get the physical item as it comes with the bonus CD of Erin raw with her guitar and words.
