Regina Spekto is a New Yorker of Russian heritage. The best way to describe her is Tori Amos+Bjork+Ani Difranco X100,000 i suggest you listen if you havent http://www.myspace.com/reginaspektor
not surprising that ppl havent discovered her yet in this pop music addled society ty fellow forumers, way to show diversity
I quite like her. Soviet Kitsch wasn't bad but her voice does whine some. She duetted nicely with Casablancas of The Strokes. The newer one, Mary Anne Meets the Gravediggers was beautifully desinged artwork etc, and easier on the ears. I doubt she'll ever win anything, but a nice, if occasionally aurally painful, addition to the collection.
