+ The Jenny Bray Band
“Jenny Bray wrings every ounce of nuance out her song, and whilst it isn´t pretty, she paints a vivid picture. The notes she plays on the piano, unaccompanied in that sung verse, add to a tension suggesting that something is about to give, and there is a clever punctuation, at the end of that one verse, of a kind of semi colon as a more optimistic sounding instrumental piece.”
