a friend sent me Elephants... Teeth Sinking Into Heart a while ago, and i really like it. when i first got it, it was only in one folder of sound files on my computer, so i didn't realize that this was a two-disc set. but after finding this out, it made a lot of sense, with the title and all and the variation in style. the first disc is much softer and gentler with really nice string arrangements, and the second is much more rocking. i definitely prefer the first. the rock sounds slightly outdated to me. but i do think it's an interesting concept. i think the softer arrangements really showcase the full range of her voice, which sounds to me like a cross between fiona apple and damien rice. here's "duet," which features her with ray lamontagne, who also has a great voice that is quite similar to hers when you put them up to one another.
