(Indie Pop) Eerie Wanda - Hum - 2016, MP3, 320 kbps

Eerie Wanda is the name given to the relentlessly memorable recorded results of an album delivered by Croatian/Dutch singer-songwriter Marina Tadic, w/ a little help from her friends, including the phenomenal rhythm section of JACCO GARDNER's band. Throughout the album, Eerie Wanda displays a somewhat magical ability of using somewhat standard song structures as the skeletons of their sound, but replacing the dead marrow of those bones with a unique & enlivening mixture of dizzy joy and sparkling sonic lucidity. Tadic's voice is as central as anything else to the album's success: it's a two-toned, barely-accented gem of sweetness & melancholy, a distant cousin to both Hope Sandoval & ''I Am the Cosmos''-era Chris Bell.
