This is an uncut demo, complete with throat-clearing. If you can't deal with phlegm in the intro, don't listen. But you're missing out: it's exquisite. The vocals have this gorgeous richness to them. And Ms Garza's voice is phenomenally well-controlled: every change in pitch and amplitude sounds well-meant.
The song itself is fairly stunning. I don't go in for heartbreak and angst, unless it sounds this good.
I found it by happy chance - she guests on the phenomenal new Mexicans with Guns album, Ceremony. Her vocals on that were so good that I hunted her down on the interwebs, like some sort of acoustic poacher. And what a kill - this is phenomenally good for a demo.
If you want more of her than is available on her website, check out the band she sings and plays drums (!) for. It's more soft-rock than her solo song (which starred a ukulele), but that voice is worth overcoming my aversions for. And her lyrics are juicy. I'm genuinely excited about this.
