“I thrust my foot through the windshield,” Skullcrusher’s Helen Ballentine sings with delicate brutality on the opener of her folk-meets-bedroom-indie EP, ‘Storm In Summer’. It immediately foreshadows her disarmingly tranquil sound, landing somewhere between the intricacies of Nick Drake and the hushed soundscapes of Elliott Smith, with added rousing flourishes and the understated power of Helen’s voice. A product of a depressed summer holed up with Nick Drake’s records on repeat, her music wears this influence brilli antly, not least on the overt ode to her inspiration.
Nick Drake の名が出てきているけど、さすがにそれは...
Elliott Smith の名も挙げられているが、そちらは確かにという感じ。
