Christy Edwards and classically-trained pianist Emily Manzo weave candy-floss clouds of ambient drone, outsider folk-pop, immobile psychedelia, and thrift store ingenuity on "Gueen's Head." Fans of Mo Tucker, Damon and Naomi,
Quix*o*tic, and Wendy & Bonnie should consider this a mandatory purchase. A beautiful and serious work with an emotional core and true depth.

Outstanding debut here from a Brooklyn duo of guitarist Christy Edwards and classically-trained pianist Emily Manzo, weaving candy-floss clouds of ambient drone, outsider folk-pop, immobile psychedelia, thrift store ingenuity, avant-garde technique, and minimal, brilliantly workmanlike composition. Both women possess gorgeous voices that mesh together impeccably, Manzo being one of the only singers out there who can match White Magic's Mira Billotte in her rich and knowing alto. Fans of Mo Tucker, Kendra Smith, Damon and Naomi, Quix*o*tic, and Wendy & Bonnie should consider this a mandatory purchase. A beautiful and serious work with an emotional core and true depth.
