Presently on tour drumming and singing with Grammy-Nominated artist Iron & Wine, the Los Angeles-based drummer/percussionist/vocalist Elizabeth Goodfellow recently released her first solo album, Silly Sun.

The eclectic stylistic nature and theatrical vocal performance reminds fondly of St. Vincent.
Another highlight off the album is “Dream Catcher”, whose symphonic and twinkling presence is quite magical and a bit reminiscent of Kate Bush:
