Nicki Jaine's vocals are sorta like what might happen if you forced Natalie Merchant to sing tenor through a sieve of razor blades. Sky has a simpler voice of mezzo-elegy. Together they milk a muse of pain and stripey thingies to yield ditties and dirges that are at once fairy-like and chthulhuian.
Newly christened as "Torn Paper Dolls," their new Web site has tunes and pics and lyrics and other interesting things. Check it out.
