Karen Elson

Is actually not bad as a singer. She has a southern, Neko Case-ish flare (with a less powerful voice, duh). But also an eerie, macabre tone.

I like the acoustic version of the title track:


She's at Cafe du Nord next Tuesday... I kinda wanna go. Plus it would just be cool to see her in person.

[Also, can we talk about how weird it is that Jack White is playing the drums with her on this tour? And producing her album? And that they met because Karen was in the Blue Orchid viedo? And that Meg was at their wedding? And that Karen and Jack have kids with the last name White even though that's actually Meg's name that he took when they were married but still told everyone they were siblings? Yeah it's pretty weird.]
