All I've heard is the single, which sounds fine, if a bit too
over-produced. She (unlike Zooey Deschanel) obviously can't sing for
toffee, but...c'mon, these are Tom Waits songs. "Good" singing is not
important, and she has a bad voice that has some character to it,
which will do for this record's purpose.
I've heard that Ivo Watts-Russell, of 4AD Records/This Mortal Coil
fame, sequenced (and possibly mixed) the album, and I'm totally not
surprised by that because the song I heard has a strong 4AD Records
vibe to it. I'll get around to the rest of the album eventually, but
it's not at the top of my list.
