Mariee Sioux : Faces In The Rocks (US,2007)*****
...I also like to mention, and recommend this singer-songwriter who clearly has all the advantages and depth of native Indian and nature-grounded foundations and inspirations. She has a beautiful faerie voice, and great pickings, with vocal arrangements which here and there remind me somewhat of Marissa Nadler’s approaches with the help of Orion Rigel Domisse or Orion's solo efforts. Some songs are pretty long but don’t feel like that at all. Some additional arrangements include native flute, buffalo drum, accordion, and cello and some additional guitar sounding once feather-light brushed, also reveals some native Indian approach/nature. A great discovery and an album that I assume will keep you digging into all layers deeper and deeper....
PS. The very nice artwork was provided by Maria Pugnetti (Wooly Mar, review of her music on next page).
