Carol Bui

Jeff Buckley was once pitched to a Columbia Records A&R man as a "Heritage Artist" in the same vein as Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. It is in their shadow that Carol Bui emerges as perhaps the most singular and distinct voice of the Washington, DC music scene. Her self-released debut, This is How I Recover, fused lyrical guitar lines with poetic phrasing and revels in its ability to dish finely crafted narratives within a framework of heavy friction post-punk rock.
