has anyone heard I'm Not Your Man? it's a solid album and "Boyfriend" is undeniable, but idk, a lot of the subtlety of her lyrics and arrangements is lost in the transition to anthemic indie rock, and the folkier tracks are a little drab compared to the rich goth-folk of her earlier work. We Slept at Last and the three EP that precede it are some of my favorite music of the decade, though — I love the deep bass and droney undercurrents and the running lyrical theme of self-destruction as a sacrament, which puts her closer in spirit to Comus than to Laura Marling.
I've probably watched this clip of "Let Me In" over a dozen times. such an intense, mesmerizing performance
