"Willow is a self-taught singer/songwriter, who, in 1992 put down her Bible and picked up a pawn shop guitar. Three chords later, the songs came flowing out. Judging from the fact that she had no subsequent musical experience, one could say she's a bit of a preternatural chanteuse. Like post-Christian rocker contemporaries, Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson, Willow's pap is a preacher man and prior to her fateful leap, she was an enrollee at Multnomah School of the Bible in Portland, Oregon. The result of her departure from conservative religion...her musical renderings are of an evolution of a spiritual nature - an earthly, poetic dance in the dark. For those familiar with the fire and brimstone of artist Nick Cave, Willow may be the polar sweet angel of darkness, redemption and desire. Her recent release, Sweet Dark Demon (recorded at Seattle's Studio Litho, produced by Tucker Martine), shares disc with innovative guitarist Kevin Wood, who compliments Willow's lush, lyrical and introspective vocals. The beautiful eerie, atmospheric rock ensemble also includes a Hammond organ, cello, harmonium and rhythm/percussion section. Tunes like 'Down', 'Dead Days', and 'Absinthe' are filled with sparse textures, and sometimes all we hear is Willow's breathy poetry. As well, the music will craftily shift into full orchestration. Prior to the formation of this musical collaboration, Willow was capturing Seattle audiences with her solo performances - no doubt the quintessential, metaphorical murky muse we all long for on the soul's stage." ~ Dinah Urall, HipFish
