Caroline Lufkin's First Album: Murmurs
Caroline Lufkin's first album has been completed and is set for release on March 6, 2006, but I think if you order it from her label they'll ship it early. It only has 9 tracks, but if they're as good as "Where's My Love" was, then it should be a great album!

Quote:
Following the critical and fanatical praise of last year's otherworldly "Where's My Love" single, Tokyo, Japan's Caroline releases her enchanting debut album. Murmurs is a thing of blessed beauty that defies easy description. It is nearly impossible to attach words to the supernatural brilliance of Caroline's songs. From the weeping trumpet and innocent lyrical sentiments of opener "Bicycle" to the cinematic tide of "Winter" - whose orchestral weight and lyrical hopefulness threaten to crush the listener from the inside-out - Murmurs is a truly masterful album. No samples were used: dozens of live acoustic instruments - pianos, harps, bells, guitars, strings and hand drums - are shaped around Caroline's crystalline voice and threaded together by warm bass and dense beats. With a transcendence that could give you chills on a blistering summer day just as easily as it could warm your body on a bitterly cold night, it's no wonder Caroline has developed a reputation as queen of the "snow jams."

Yes, it is! It's Olivia Lufkin's sister!

(and they have a brother Jeff Lufkin who may have something in the works as well.)

I just noticed her a couple of weeks ago on the Temporary Residence website and only later realized that this was Olivia Lufkin's sister. Might even have to check it out, seeing as she's on TR.

I downloaded it a while ago, but when I realised it was Olivia's sister I deleted the file immediately, lol. However, she is on TR, so I'll definitely try it.

Caroline is different from Olivia, not grungy.

Definitely to each their own. Olivia just definitely isn't my cup of tea. Imo, her work is very cliché and poorly written - but of course, that is just an opinion. Downloading the Caroline track now, can't wait to hear it.

Alright, it's playing right now. First impression: not bad at all. Sounds a bit like a poppier version of Noriko Tujiko's glitchpop. Not too crazy about the voice, but that's not a big issue. Will check out her album.

^yep, i can respect your opinion.

Noriko Tujiko and glitchpop? I've never heard of either of those. Sounds interesting.

edit: wait, i looked it up...how have i never heard of glitchpop before...i LOVE what i've previewed thus far of different bands.

It's definitely worth checking out. The Japanese are easily the best at it, the range of brilliant glitch artists they have is amazing. My personal favourite would be Noriko Tujiko (or Tujiko Noriko, depends where you're looking really), whose songs are immensily beautiful. Her entire discography is worth checking out; Shojo Toshi is my personal favourite.

yeah, i fully expect the entire album to be in english seeing as how the two songs i've heard so far have been and its a u.s. release.

and sxesven, thanks a ton, i'm definitely going to be checking out a range of glitch artists.

I've heard Where's my love, and it was really good. I think I'll try to get to know this artist better, it's just that she always reminds me of her sister Olivia, and I miss Olivia. Oh, please come back <3
