Well, in light of the announcement that the User Pick of the Day is going on hiatus, I'll offer one up. I don't know if i can do this on a daily basis, but I've been feeling insanely productive lately, writing brief metaphorical descriptions of albums. We'll start with this one.
It's karaoke night at the morgue. She keeps singing songs you vaguely remember but each seems seems straight from her soul.
The final album from the 4AD supergroup is a lot to take in in one sitting, running 21 songs deep. Highlights include covers of Chris Bell's "You & Your Sister" (sung by Kim Deal and Tanya Donelly) and Gene Clark's "With Tomorrow" among many others. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com
A very good record. My personal favs are Mary Margaret O'Hara's "Help Me Lift You Up", and Barrett's "Late Night", both sung by Caroline Crawley of Shelleyan Orphan, a sadly overlooked popfolk band that was very delicate.
Otherwise it's like you said, or: Lady Usher gets up from her tomb and sings in the vault.
The only thing thing this album lacks is "Song to the Siren".

I really need to check them out. I think This Mortal Coil has been a gateway to so many favorite artists. Their Buckley and Gene Clark covers are what really propelled me into loving both artists. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com
