I Am Jen

This one is an exclusive to this site, so get it while you can. I found this girl on one of my podcasts and pulled the full audio from it. She only distributes samples on her website.

"It seems that I am jen is a bit of a dark horse. There is virtually no information about her, so all that I have gathered is that she is New Yorkan and her real name is Jen Scaturro. Yet she has been essential to the music scene and has programmed and lent her beats to many artists."

"Jen’s music is a cross between Massive Attack and sometimes the glitchier bits of Aphex Twin. One website says that she is similar to Suzanne Vega as well - this is true, especially vocally. I would throw in a bit of early Bjork too."

Sufjan Stevens

Sufjan Stevens is an acoustic/folk writer with a very American/midwestern feel. He is attempting to release an album for every state in the union, his latest being Illinois.

This song is a live recording from a NPR interview he did a few weeks ago. He was actually at Taylor last year, but I, being stupid for some reason, never went. Maybe it's because I had no idea who he was...

You can buy Illinois at Amazon (I have to laugh because I own every CD in the "other listeners bought" area :)

Artist - Sufjan Stevens
Song - The Lord God Bird
