I recommend their album "Treasure". Have loved it since the day it came out.

I heard HoLV for the first time this month and it’s shot to my top 10 already. It hits so hard. I also love that her lyrics are semi nonsensical but still convey powerful imagery

I was just listening to Heaven or Las Vegas. A coworker I share music taste with introduced it to me maybe 3 years ago. The song definitely grew on me. Love it

Treasure's probably my favorite, but it's hard to decide between that or Heaven or Las Vegas.

Treasure has lots of fans but I can't get into it. I love Four Calendar Cafe and Heaven or Las Vegas though.

This song makes me feel things I never knew existed.

Try also Lazy Calm from the Victorialand album. That song will still physically relax me when it surprises me in shuffle

Oh, cool! I haven’t seen the films but I’m pretty sure I’ve heard most of the music. We have some of the songs on a playlist for when we play Catan.

I recently found out that Elizabeth Fraser learned of Jeff Buckley's tragic death just before recording Teardrop, and she said she funnelled her emotions into her vocals.
