Leona Naess - Thirteens [CD]

THIRTEENS, the fourth album from Leona Naess (first on Verve Forecast), is one of mixed emotions. The songs of mourning, realization, muted joy, and true giddiness were taken from more than 13 albums worth of songs Naess composed during a time after her fathers unexpected death in 2004. The variety of moods and lo-fi production perfectly compliment Naess soft, misty voice on tracks such as "Leave Your Boyfriends Behind" and "Learning As We Go."
