"Pity the fool who'd think of murdering Vivian Linden: with a voice like hers, she's bound to come back as a ghost and haunt you. Linden's instrument is reminiscent of Cat Power, Hope Sandoval, and Margo Timmons (of Cowboy Junkies), equal parts cracked and crystalline, gravel and gold dust, the kind you'd expect to hear drifting across the desert at sunset. Judging by the title of her debut album, "Watch the Light Fade", and the dead flowers decorating its cover, Linden is fully aware of her gift, and employs to exquisite effect."
