Nancy Elizabeth
Posted on September 27th, 2007 by Mike Smith
A folk song that cares, caresses and stumbles to reach you as you fall. Cold, and surrounded by fallen leaves, Nancy Elizabeth emerges with a misty 300 yard stare, warbling. And it starts to rain; the folk-tinged drizzle gradually becoming a post rock downfall.
Nancy is touring in November and her album came out this week on The Leaf Label.
I saw her in Leeds at The Brudenell. Live, she can’t cut it. Voice perpetually a quarter-tone flat. And that hippy, dippy, persona is well feeble. £7 and three hours wasted. Well, not entirely. Support Thee Stranded Horse was good - despite the name, it’s just one guy. Check him out. Forget her.
