Emily Sparks
|
|
|
A thick-skinned, fragile-voiced girl from the North country whose influences include Neil Young, Elliot Smith, Cat Power and Nick Drake. Frontwoman Bridget ‘Jet’ Mullen got the name Emily Sparks from the classic book of fictional epitaphs by Edgar Lee Masters, The Spoon River Anthology. Maybe that's because her music represents the same eerie, straightforward poetry that seems to speak beyond the grave, lamenting in a whisper the loves and lives had and then lost.
