Mary Bue + Kate Graves

What do songs sound like that come from a girl who loves seaweed, seals and cats, bartends at a busy breakfast joint, has a bachelor's in psychology, teaches yoga, used to attend rave parties in the late 90's, adores Pee Wee's Playhouse, and still hand-writes letters? You'll get songs that run the gamut of curious human experience. From the epically melodramatic pop stuff of Rufus Wainwright, to the crunchy strumming of an acoustic guitar with driving, aching melodies akin to Neko Case; to the lovably raunchy poetry of Regina Spektor, the magical fairy never-never land of Tori Amos and the meloncholy lullabye drawls of Sarah McLachlan or Lucinda Williams -- Mary Bue draws from these influences to create her own home of sound. This is soothing, cathartic and quirky piano and vocal music, full of melodies with symbolic tendencies and the potential to "emotionally sucker-punch" you!
