RADAR: Lindsay Fuller

Gothic southern literary imagery, tales of dying and despair, a haggard, mounful voice that hovers somewhere between Nick Cave and Gillian Welch -- yet the bleak, brutal music of Alabama-raised, Seattle-based songwriter Lindsay Fuller manages to find its own special intoxicating beauty. Newly signed to ATO, Fuller follows up her 2010 sophomore album The Last Light I See with You, Anniversary due March 27, another collection of darkly wondrous, powerful songs that both float in the ether and hit like a ton of bricks. Producer/bassist Paul Bryan (Aimee Mann, Grant Lee Phillips) surrounds Fuller and her acoustic with a studio band that rolls and rumbles like impending storm clouds of tremeloed guitar lines and shuffling rhythms, turning songs like "One More Song" (video below) into gritty, black shrouded hymns of regret, remorse and revenge.
