Earthy chamber pop from Bend and Portland, Oregon.

For fans of:
Natalie Merchant, Nina Nastasia, Laura Veirs, Sinead O'Conner, Anais Mitchell, Cat Power, Beth Orton, Erin McKeown, Tori Amos

With equal hints of dusky bluegrass and clarion Celtic folk, Brauns has written a batch of tunes that are brimming with earthy pulchritude, highlighted by her remarkable vocals and subtle but involving production from Portland Cello Project's Douglas Jenkins. Remarkable songs like the gamboling "Maps" and the stirring, album-opening title track prove that Brauns has made a record destined to become an evergreen.
