She seems like prog-folk, if that even exists.
Prog-Folk exists but she isn't remotely like it. I like her because she has
A)A voice which fits her music perfectly.
B)She has fantastic harp playing skills(an infamously hard instrument to play)
C)Great lyrics
IMO, she has released 3 flawless albums and I love them more with every listen. Boobs went on a rant in the shoutbox about how Indie Folk and Newsoms connection to it and I wasn't having it. She sounds like a Folk artist lifted right from the 60s and I often compare her to some of my favs like Fairport Convention, and you know what? She's just as good.
