Once a member of The Story (an artistic folk project that sounded it should have been on the 4AD label), Jonatha Brooke now creates forlorn, moody modern folk with sad lyrics and sultry female vocals. Her textured, whispered voice stretches up in peaks, similar to the Cranberries' Dolores O'Riordan (without an Irish accent). Her otherworldly liver version of "In The Gloaming" can still reduce the most bullheaded male stereotypes to wallowing wails of tears.
