Good song, awesome video... but as for the album, I far preferred Bring Me the Workhorse.
I first heard her live, opening for the Decemberists. I just couldn't believe her voice.

Glad she's on your radar.

Thanks for this, and for the link to mybrightestdiamond.com, from which I found her newly released cover of "Tainted Love," which is also excellent.

For me, there's something about A Thousand Shark's Teeth really sends it head and shoulders above BMTW. I think it's the more open sound of the harp and strings, how they weave in and out of the rest of the instruments, and her incredible voice.

Dragonfly is still my favorite video though.

I saw them Saturday for the first time and I have to say it was one of the most incredibly fun and entertaining shows I've seen in years.
They put on a whimsical show with beautiful instrumentation, hand made visuals and wonderful costumes.
