Welcome eskimeaux, aka Gabby Smith, to our lineup of new, mystery acts. Her email contained a link to her album, I Am A Spiral, and basically nothing else. Seriously. I could have explored more in depth and provided you with some background, but oftentimes intrigue catches our ears the most.
The music has a Dorothy in Kansas magical feel to it. Ukulele and hushed vocals take the reigns on nearly every song, as Smith effortlessly lulls us into her fantastical (yet profoundly sad) world.

“School Lane” is the loveliest track I’ve come across since The Violent Blue was released months ago. Now, for those of you who don’t know me: I’ve listened to a whole hellalot since February.
I knew you would like it.
