Paul White - "Honey Cats" (2014)

Strange but very musical music. Lots of long drawn out vocals and semi-close harmony, but also dark jazz rhythms and echoing voices.

Gemma Ray - "The Wheel" (2014)

Voice-wise a duet quite similar to Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell. Hints of swamp.

It is a weird mix of styles. From almost poppy to slightly electronic to the symphonic "Rubbing Out Your Name".

"Runaway", an older song, sounds quite promising with a ominous base guitar and surf guitar, then suddenly turns all poppy during the chorus. A shame.
