I'm not sure which dictionary you derived your definition of "melody" from - but this song is not "devoid of melody" by the literal definiton of the word.

Complete and utter ca-ca.

More like an old mode of speech.  Very folksy, IMO.

Goes on a bit, don't it?

Beautiful and deep.  Thanks RP!

I can't hear Anna Ternheim in this at all. Sounds more like Metric whatshername.

There's a style of "quiet is the new loud" disaffected coolness with hypnotic guitar—i really like it—- started hearing it in 90's with Red House Painters, etc. i haven't heard her other stuff—-funny I like Anna Ternheim a lot, too, whom they say sounds like her.

pretty voice sounds good in the morning——the lyrics and album art cover gorgeous.

Yes I wish we could hear something more from this album; this piece is really intriguing.

You apparently don't know what the word "melody" means.  You could try looking it up on wikipedia.  But don't feel bad, as crummy as the educational system in Georgia is, you deserve sympathy more than condemnation.

Why not add this to the sounds-like-list:

Anna Ternheim? anyone?

JK

Bought the CD and like the whole thing.  Great stuff.

this one just grows and grows on me. so subtle and evocative

Totally devoid of melody.  Stick to reading poetry in the coffee bars, Laura.

Yep.  I was about to post the same thing — sounds like Sara, especially the opening  

Sounds exactly like Joy Harjo

This piece is starting to really grow on me.

To me it sounds a bit like Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek. Reference Sabra Girl / Telluride Music Festival 30 Year Anniversary.
Good Stuff. This and That.

Yup...

Is it a common accent, some new mode of speech affected by indie hipsters or just general coincidence?
I'm curious.

My other favorite of hers from the same album is "Cast A Hook In Me".  (The nautical theme will be apparent.)  You can hear it on her myspace page.  Fantastic sound she has.

She guested with them on their Austin City Limits performance too (the PBS concert show, not the music festival).

Wow, what an insult.

I rather like this.  Nothing like deathcrabs.

Every time I hear this I think it's a new Kaki King song. The guitar doesn't measure up, of course, but it's nearly the same sweet, cynical voice.

Hmmmm only one song from this cd is in the RP library. Has anybody tried uploading other songs from the cd?
