Ohimè.
"Their music is simply the most appropriate and honest sound to capture a feeling of exile, desolation, and repeated heartbreak."
I have been somewhat obsessed w/ this "band" lately. W-S Burn are Amanda Beddard (Pixie) and Steve Gigante -- their music, friable and reminiscent, is cultured in alienation and raw head-space, the sound of empty rooms and tape-hiss, leavened w/ sweetness and play. At their most haunting, it is like hearing a frightened Julie Doiron withdrawn into the lo-fi autism of early Jandek.
They have, in total, four limited edition, hand-painted, cdrs (gorgeous, homemade, packaging w/ written lyrics and original drawings from Pixie) available from online retailers, as well as their, infrequent, performances.
Here are some mp3s; the first two, and fourth, lack titles, as they are not listed on the packaging:
05 from "Two Dreams Tucked in Tight"
06 from "Two Dreams Tucked in Tight"
Mismatched Spoons from "Tightrope Walker"
02 from "One Egg's way of Becoming Other Eggs"
Mother from "Candy Striper"
