I stumbled across Leona Naess while rummaging through the big pile of CDs at my job. The cover art caught my eye, so I sifted it into my "listen to" pile on my desk. I popped the CD into my slow-as-a-stegosaur computer, and I was very pleased with what I heard.Her new CD "Thirteens" can be a little slow at times, but that is part of its charm. Each song is harmonic and well put-together, with...

Leona Naess was first introduced to me by a co-worker at a gym I worked at. I made her a techno mix for teching spin classes and told her about the various music I listen to like Regina Spektor, Imogen Heap, etc. and she gave me her CD Comatised.

Hardly examples for America's insecure youth. But there's some ...

Last night I checked out Leona Naess perform at Pianos, a music bar located in the Lower East Side, to an intimate crowd. Not knowing much (or really ANY) of her music, this was a treat. She somewhat reminds me of Feist, but has Fiona Apple-like tendencies while performing on stage. It's always interesting checking out an artist for the first time - as you're totally naive, experiencing this pe...
