First off, I have huge respect for anyone who does what she did on this album- all the writing, singing, instrumentals, production, even the album art was her. Second, "Your Wrists" is one of my favorite songs ever, period. I'm not a big fan of folk/acoustic/whatever you want to label her, but I don't think I'm biased in saying that this album is spectacular. I would love to tell you about her process or her vision or her inspiration, but alas, I have no insight to share. One of her best friends died like seven years ago... that's all I've got.
