Nancy Elizabeth
Nancy Elizabeth (nee Nancy Elizabeth Cunliffe) is a British singer/songwriter who is on the Leaf Label. “Hey Son” is the first single from her debut album Battle and Victory. She gets compared to Joanna Newsom, but I don’t hear it. Her voice reminds me of Marissa Nadler, but pitched down about half an octave. This song, the only one of hers that I have heard, reminds me a lot of some of the more recent work by Six Organs of Admittance. It begins with a simple acoustic guitar figure and a repeated phrase, but it slowly spirals into something much larger as electric guitar, vocal harmonies and huge percussion work they way into it. A very striking and powerful song.
