Artist Info: Polly Panic

Jenette Mackie built Polly Panic on the back of an electrified and often distorted cello married to manic-depressive drums. Her vocal stylings owe as much to Sylvia Plath and Virginia Woolf as they do to PJ Harvey and Tori Amos; Mackie wails out powerfully in raw, charismatic tones.

The result is a sound truly beautiful, dark and unforgettable. [read more...]
