Carissa's Wierd is a now disbanded (unfortunately) group from Seattle. They released five great albums. “Songs about leaving” is in my opinion the creative peak of the band, an incredible album based on (mainly) acoustic guitars and strings.
The album creates a very moody atmosphere, and the fragile voice of Jenn Ghetto, although quiet, sounds so powerful and bitter-sweet. Just listen to it at night, with the company of the drug of your choice (nicotine and alcohol that is....), light some candles and float... And bring back the memories. Because this album does that so very well. At least it still does it for me, as it never left my playlist for the most part of 2007. And it always comes back on a rainy afternoon and a cold night.
This album should get you depressed (if you aren't already). If it doesn't, it failed. Let it connect, let it do its thing and crawl to the black, heartbroken paths of your mind...
Get depressed
Highlights: Farewell to All These Rotten Teeth, Sofisticated Fuck Princess Please Leave Me Alone
