lululuvsolTheme for today: Boats
Lucy Lee - "The Boat That I Row"
You learn pretty quickly if you try to google Lucy Lee that it's also the name of a porn star. I assure you this is not the same person. Unfortunately, there's very little information about this Lucy Lee available. What I can tell you about her is that she released one album back in the late 90s and that she has a tongue-in-cheek classic country style. This song is no different and it's a lot of fun. I love it.
M. Ward - "Big Boat"
M. Ward is a bit of an indie folk/rock darling these days, especially since releasing one of this years hottest indie albums with Zooey Deschanel as "She & Him". But he was making great songs long before Zooey joined him, and this shows off his skills quite well.
The Naysayer - "Jump Ship!"
The Naysayer is folk singer Anna Padgett. She writes heartfelt yet silly folk songs. This song is both a bit silly and also brilliant. It's very well done, pretty, pertinent and adorable. The ship she's talking about is actually a Relationship Ship.
Dana Falconberry - "Paper Sailboat"
She is a singer-songwriter from Austin, TX. This song is very pretty and features just her and an acoustic guitar. It's very understated, but that's what makes it so beautiful.
Devics - "My Beautiful Sinking Ship"
As I was writing all this I have been trying to figure out how to describe Devics. The band they most remind me of is The Dresden Dolls, but at the same time I think Devics is a bit more understated than the Dresdens, they don't seem quite so "hard" or edgey. But they're both male-female duos who have a dark baroque/burlesque quality at times. But yet I tend to like Devics a lot more because they tend to lean towards the softer side of spook.
