Beautiful lady that's part of the Doomtree collective. Has one hell of a voice to boot.

yup

[cshadows2887]

The verse she drops on P.O.S.'s "Lowlight Lowlife" is maybe the best thing I've ever heard. She's brilliant.

[c_rob2700]

Her False Hopes is my favorite, without a doubt. Can't wait until she drops a full length

[deadkidsean]

We're married. FYI.

[ugman_2000]

I really enjoyed her False Hopes, can't wait for her to release an album

[11:11]

Anyone have any idea of when her album is supposed to be out?

[MADSTA]

I love her a lot. My fave Doomtree member.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

bumpin

I love her a lot. My fave Doomtree member.

She's right behind Mictlan and Cecil for me.

[MADSTA]

Beyond stoked for her full length. Gonna be aaaawesome.

[Genuma]

I always thought she was better when assisting on other member's Doomtree songs. Still excited for this, though.

[11:11]

So according to her myspace, the CD release is Jan. 22nd. Glad it's so close.

No love for P.O.S. or Sims?

Love Stef; not too huge on Sims. Enjoyed his latest False Hopes, though.

I can see Sims being an acquired taste. His guest rhymes on P.O.S.'s "Lowlight Lowlife" are awesome though. I can never decide whether I think his verse on that song or Dessas is the best thing I've ever heard. Depends on the day.

[partisanpunk]

you guys are ******s, this isn't punk.

ya'll could learn a lesson or two from me about real music.

Ok. I'll bite. Who said it was punk?

Oh, I've followed Doomtree around for a longgg time now and Sims just doesn't do it for me as much as I'd like. And Dessa destroys that song.

the website?

[Genuma]

the website?
fuck you

[partisanpunk]

fuck you

fuck you too.

[Genuma]

new album is good.

[xJesusFreakx]

I checked out her MySpace and liked what I heard. Should I just start with her newest album?

Not a bad idea. Her other release is kind of a teaser EP. Def worth checking out though.

You know what is punk? Abusing random people on music forums.

[Genuma]

this album get better every listen.

[MADSTA]

Just bumping 'cause I love her. ABBC is my #1 this year so far, and I don't see that changing really.

[El_Jeffe]

Love her album. Finally spent a lot of time with it. Get a bit of a Tracy Chapman vibe from her at times, when she really focuses on her singing vocals.

[HometownHero]

I love her parts on the new Paper Tiger record.

Note to self: buy new Paper Tiger record.

Do it. The guy makes amazing music. She just added to the awesome.

Yeah I have most of the Doomtree stuff but no Paper Tiger. I'll fix that very soon when cah flow increases a little.

[kyle is hk]

I'm currently obsessed with her verse on Low Light Low Life. Is her full length worth getting?

[Dr. Acula]

In a word, yes.

[MADSTA]

Still my #1 this year.

Arguably my favorite verse, lyrically, on anything ever.

Its weird how I just recently started listening to it. I've listened to Never Better dozens of times since it came out but I never realized that that individual song was accidentally unchecked on my itunes and never on my iPod. So its like i recently got a brand new POS song. And its absolutely fantastic, I love the way she delivers "melting down the bells"

And you were missing the best song on the record, too. Haha. And yeah that half-sing gives me shivers. Also the line "from all the corners cut, we got an avalanche of sawdust" is a favorite.

There isn't a moment of non-awesome on the whole song, though. I always walk around imitating SIMS's delivery of "They got that medicine to fix your mood 'til you learn to mind your place and eat that Sysco food."

Yeah its definitely at the top for me along with Purexed. Dont get me wrong I really liked the record when it came out but after revisiting it this week I realize I really love it. Who is the Russel she references in her verse? I feel like Im missing a really obvious reference

Not obvious, really. Haha. I made a thread to ask this exact question.

Oh wow I actually read that post back when you posted it but didn't recall it when hearing the song or now haha.

[xJesusFreakx]

A Badly Broken Code is dope. It's one of my favorite 2010 albums that I rarely listen to.

[stereokiller]

Just listened to the new POS record. The moment I first heard her Low Light, I needed to know who owned that awesome verse. Guess her name is Dessa. I'm checking out this Doomtree whatnot right away (and her record).

[georgedcc]

Really? Wow, so those lyrics are better than anything Springsteen, Dylan or Billy Joel ever penned? That's very high praise from you ha.

Anyway I bumped this thread because I couldn't find a thread for her new album, which is absolutely magnificent. The re-vamped version of Chaconne is beautiful. The production throughout the album is top-notch as well. She has such a lovely voice, without it being particularly technically strong. Reminds me a lot of Lauryn Hill.

Oh, and does anyone thinks she looks a bit, ahem, ethnic on the album cover. Kind of like the reverse Beyonce...
