Elise Wunder |
Elise Wunder has a voice of oak and leather – a tone that’s soft and comforting but with an unmistakably solid foundation. Her style is heavy in a way that does not suggest world weariness so much as it does wisdom and an old soul. Her voice will take you by surprise, especially when she sets it loose at an unexpected moment and you realize the power that she has been holding back. It’s a cannon and a paintbrush at once. Her lyrics, written in a stream of consciousness style that leaves wide space for personal interpretation, are nonetheless clearly autobiographical. The vulnerability of her art drives into our hearts with the force of a hammer. The most subtle aspect of Elise’s music is the thin line of darkness that runs through the center of it all. |
