Don't listen to Loki Fange, she's talking rubbish!
The original one posted was ambient metal with Balkan Jazz overtones, a Celine Dion/Albert Ayler hybrid if you will.
Well you can't say the live version sounds anything like that!

I should have mentioned one is live, and listened all the way thru. To me they sounded close enuf for it to be usable.

B is a good JA pick, but I really enjoyed A.

A sounds like The Carpenters to me. Pretty bland. I couldn't take a whole album of it, but not dreadful.
B isn't really my bag either, but I think I prefer it.

a Quite the bravura vocal on this, and a nice arrangement of the backing vocals, too, although I didn't think much of the song, which seemed a little incoherent – or wandering and unstructured, at least – in the one listen it is going to get. Like the guitar sound, too. Wondering about the name of the act - anything to do with Flannery O'Connor? It gets better as it goes along, too. Enjoyed that, cheers. 6 / 10
b This has the advantage of familiarity, and being my favourite track from ...Takes Off, even if the lyric is a bit dodgy with its suggestion of hebephilia. It's all about the voices and vocal arrangement here, too. A bit controversial among JA fans, but the blend achieved by Marty and Signe here is prettier than anything he achieved with Grace - not that she didn't add a whole lot of other things to the band, he adds hastily 7 / 10
B, but A would have creamed anything in the first two ties. Sorry A, luck of the draw.

I thought A was quite pleasant but a bit knotty and maybe needed a stronger melody. A nice sound though and it gets better as it goes on.
I'm still voting B though.

There was a Canadian artist a few years ago who completely flew under everyone's radar but who had a similar voice and arrangement style to this Weye's Blood person. So, for Colleen Brown, I'm going to choose A. Also because B, while nice, is a bit too twee for me right now.

Weyes Blood gets glowing reviews on all the Internet music places like Pitchfork. It's well-constructed and accomplished but there are bits where it wallows in Googa-friendly gloopiness (as a lot of the '70s stuff that inspired it also does, I must say).
I like Surrealistic Pillow but haven't listened to it in ages and am unfamiliar with most of their other stuff. I'd written the later records off as tedious jammy nonsense but this one is a little delight! Must check out that debut if it's all like this.

I quite like the 70s FM stylings of A - its a grower. I can see why B is getting traction here but
