I feel like I'm a bit "late to the party" since her album "Given to Sudden Panic and Noisy Retreat" was released in 2007. There was even a free download on iTunes for the first single, "Thank You." But it's OK. There's a chance you haven't been listening to Angie yet either.
She's got a beautifully smoky voice with a musical intensity that sucks you in on first listen. Songs like "Drive" and "Hurricane" offer up rich pop-inspired hooks, yet provide the lyrical and melodic twists necessary to keep with the honesty of the entire album. Then there's "Thank You" which is reminiscent for me of what I liked best about Mazzy Star. It's lush and intimate.
