A lot of the more mellow post-punk and indie acts out there bore the snot out of me. I've never been able to listen to more then a few Joy Division songs before getting the uncontrollable urge to listen to something else. I was listening to Carissas' Weird yesterday, and same thing. Not awful and I can hear why some people might love them, but *yawn*. But this band seems so alien with their vocals that I can't help but be fascinated. Joy Division's singing just sounds so goofy and eighties to me that I have a hard time taking them seriously, but this woman's singing is just so oddball that it somehow feels timeless. I'm definitely gonna have to listen to more of them.
