Yeah, I agree with this recommendation whole-heartedly. What I really
liked about this track was that, as far as I can tell, the vocals are
really dry, rather than bathed in a thousand and one spacey effects
(well, I love heaps of effects, but it was refreshing! :). Although I
think Husik is American, her vocal style reminded me heaps of British folk
stuff, which was also an interesting mix.
Man, I could probably have summarised that as "Yeah I like it too." :)
