Unwoman – “Circling” – [Unwoman]

humana   10/25/2014   A Library, CD

Erica Mulkey is magnificent, with her earthy, medieval brand of music characterized by hearty cello and strong vocals that are simply nourishing to the ear. The lyrics, printed out on an insert, are fascinating, as well. She is described as a steampunk artist based in San Francisco, and she reminds me of Faun Fables because her music is textured and grounded. On this release, as on others, she wrote and performed all the music. Get ready for a rich experience with this one.
