NPR recently profiled singer-songwriter Thao Nguyen's "Beat (Health, Life and Fire)" for its Song of the Day: Thao Nguyen's Broad Stroke of Brooding Honesty. They call it a tune that suits the "boozy, out-of-tune swagger of her voice." Awesome. I'm in love.
Her second album, We Brave Bee Stings and All, with stage band The Get Down Stay Down, is due out on January 29. Can't wait to get my hands on this one. To learn more about Thao, go here, and visit her MySpace page here. Pre-order the album here.
