We Brave Bee Stings And All
Kill Rock Stars
INDIE
Thao’s songs are richly musical, whether using just an acoustic guitar strummed with a toothbrush or employing keyboards, horns, and a full rhythm section. And while her music feels buoyant, even giddy at times. Thao endows her lyrics with a curious juxtaposition of gripping personal detail and saucy humor.
In college she recorded an EP and released a full-length debut, ‘Like the Linen’, on a local Virginia label. After playing shows all over the US she landed a spot on the Kill Rock Stars 2006 singer-songwriter compilation ‘The Sound the Hare Heard’. Soon after she began recording in Seattle and then Portland with Tucker Martine (The Decemberists, Sufjan Stevens, Mudhoney, Jesse Sykes). Taking a break to tour in Europe with Laura Veirs she spent most of 2007 recording the 11 diverse tracks on this great album.
