Influences: Where to begin?.... Sandy Denny, Cocteau Twins, Goldfrapp, Bjork, Portishead, Nick Drake, Scott Walker, Jacques Brel, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Velvet Underground, Chet Baker, Nina Simone, Kate Bush (well the first album anyway), Tom Waits, The Wicker Man (music from it), Debussy, Faure, Satie, Villa Lobos, Lorca, Jean Cocteau, David Lynch, Kristof Kieslowski...loads of others!
Sounds Like: Well this is tricky one, depends which project. About ELECTRIC BUTTERFLY....this is what some people have said it sounds a bit like: Goldfrapp (first album), Sandy Denny, Scott Walker, Portishead, Jobim, Anthony and the Johnsons, Bjork, Cocteau Twins, film music and sometimes James Bond film music, Bebel Gilberto, Cousteau, Kate Bush...so maybe some aspects are a bit like some of these but really it sounds like none of them!
