I Speak Because I CAN

Album

Pop, Alternative, Rock, Folk

"With the Mumfords As Her Backing Band, It Is Bruised, Reflective, Accusatory and Defiant.", "A Gorgeous, Melancholy, Old-Souled Record....Malring Avoids both Precocity and Self-Seriousness...", "Like Fairport Convention or Nick Cave or Cat Power, she uses folk as an archetypal form to get at the essential realities of love, sex, heartbreak, and death.", "Her Stormy Folk Songs Are Primal and Dark, Crammed with Ancient Mythology...", "Her second album is an enchanting collection of beautifully raw songs....A more laid-back affair than her debut.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "At her best, she takes PJ Harvey and Nick Drake back to their primordial folk roots...", "She starts off promisingly on 'Devil's Spoke, ' sounding unusually fervent....Second track, 'Made By Maid' is equally fine..."
