Stand With The Stillness Of This Day

Elizabeth Anka Vajagic is a Montreal-based singer and guitarist writing raw, uncompromising gothic folk/blues music with modern dissonances and timeless catharses. Here we get seven songs that feature Vajagic's vocals against a backdrop of ragged guitars, reverb, and occasional bursts of noise freakout. Vajagic's voice and lyrics bring to mind Patti Smith, Diamanda Galas, Siouxsie Sioux, Hope Sandoval, and Lisa Germano. She gets help from many folks in Montreal's musical coalition, including members of: A SILVER MT ZION, GYBE VOIVOD, ESMERINE, MOLASSES, HRSTA, and SHALABI EFFECT. CD comes in a lovely chipboard packaging and an eight-page booklet.
