Miss Alaska from Hamburg, Germany impressively sings and plays all the instruments in her January-released EP 100 Names for Snow. Although influenced by as wide-ranging artists as Velvet Underground, Regina Spektor, the Notwist, and Sigur Rös, she has forged her own sound, employing electronica along with gorgeous violin to accompany her ethereal vocals. This is a lady who believes a song should give you goosebumps, and “Lay Your Love On You” is an excellent example.
