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.

The singer's name is Elizabeth Fraser.
This may be familiar...
Another one of her notable contributions to This Mortal Coil's debut album. It was a collection of artists from the 4AD label that had a number of albums. It'll End in Tears is a strong album, and it even had a small release in the US back in the day when their albums were usually found in the imports.
