Alexa Wilding

'In a pixie and naïf soaked sonic world, you could be forgiven for thinking there's little room left for another chanteuse. But Alexa Wilding combines the haunting qualities of The Child Ballads with a Leonard Cohenian sense of wordplay and there's some rock 'n' roll in there too-for a while Wilding played with former Sonic Youth drummer Bob Bert in Int'l Shades. Bottom Line: Sometimes you need just a little dainty comfort to stop the bleeding in your ears.' (NEW YORK PRESS)
