There is a generation of female singer-songwriters that make hauntingly beautiful music: Chelsea Wolfe, PJ Harvey, Anna Von Hausswolf... and the project Lingua Ignota.
She is an incredible artist, desperate and terrifying at the same time. She can sing with a perishing delicate voice and shift into black metal-ish yells, even if there is no metal in her music.
Love this week's theme for the mix. Have to add in Ida Haukland's powerful voice to the mix. She and Floor Jansen are just... they both need to be nerfed in the next patch.
@Kitty@neurothing#NowPlaying is another record for #MusicWomenWednesday - it's Morce Majeure by Doro. This was her first album not under the Warlock name, although from what I've read, many consider the last "unofficial" Warlock album. Kind of keeping my theme going here... LOL!
Heard #MusicWomenWednesday is a thing now, and the first band that came to mind for me is Ladytron. I've loved them since I first heard their first album '604' when it came out in 2001. 'Playgirl' is so catchy and infectious, it INSTANTLY hooked me. And their cool voices!
Ladytron has had so many amazing songs since, too, like 'Seventeen', and 'Deadzone' (a warning for this one, I didn't link the video here, it is VERY strange and dark, just search for it if you wanna see, kinda like how their video for another of their newer songs 'The Island' is also weird, they've gone a wild direction lately that I dig, but I'm sure it's not for everyone).
These two of their videos are rad and totally TAME, though - and worth a watch, because they are GREAT:
