March 3, 201015 yr The first Suite is enroute to me :w00t: Excited for II & III. Many Moons is sublime
March 3, 201015 yr Author I'm seeing her live March 15th, and I sense that afterward I will feel my life is complete and die happily. I will report later.
May 20, 201015 yr oh and she killed it with the performance last night on Letterman!!!!!!!!!!1 vMyc148Do_Q
May 23, 201015 yr That performance on Letterman is fantastic. It's up there with the best of 2010 so far, there's so much good music it's hard to say which is the best but it's certainly a contender.
May 23, 201015 yr Author She's finally getting the recognition she deserves after all these years. :wub:
May 29, 201015 yr I love this <3. Literally every track is different and yet it keeps the same vibe and flows really well, especially the last few tracks. And the of Montreal track OMG. AND i heard this on my local radio station that targets housewives. To put this into perspective of how surprising/amazing this is it was followed by Abba and preceded by Chasing Cars.
July 3, 201015 yr Tightrope is @ 71 on Irish Itunes!!!! Hopefully a sign she can go at least top 75 here in the UK, at least on Itunes!

July 3, 201015 yr I hope this can at least make some impact on the charts here, she deserves it. I'm surprised she hasn't been given more support here. The music is good and the video is good, but I don't think I'd have heard it outside of my iTunes. Saw her live on Thursday, I wrote a bit about it and posted some videos here but she was basically as amazing as that "Tightrope" performance would suggest. It was such a small venue (basically a pub with a stage area) but her performance was of someone who deserves to be selling out much bigger venues. You don't get many artists who can entertain with their energy, but also put the crowd in awe with their voice. Her cover of "Smile" is so gorgeous to hear in the flesh. :wub:
July 4, 201015 yr Author She's amazing live. :wub: I think she's doing fine in terms of 'success'. Her album has been one of the most critically acclaimed of the year. I don't think she's overly concerned with getting that top 10 smash. Though she is bigger in the US than Europe; she's selling out quite sizable venues now.

I don't think she's overly concerned with getting that top 10 smash. Though she is bigger in the US than Europe; she's selling out quite sizable venues now. Oh yes, I'd agree on all cases. She seems to have the sort of success she's after and it would seem her name is definitely 'out there' in the US, she's pretty pretty big performances on Letterman and BET, I'd assume this makes her a name people would know. The album sold better than they were expecting too. But over here she's likely to stay an artist known only by internet types. I suppose that's fine, but you know that when I'm liking a practically unheard of artist they're probably being overlooked. I'm interested to see how the album performs here.
July 7, 201015 yr Oh I didn't even know she was being released here, thought I'd reply since "Tightrope" is being released~ What a fantastic artist. I love her look, her sound, just everything. I agree as well, she seems to appeal to those who want what she does and isn't that concerned with worldwide appeal. Her stage presence and energy is just outstanding.
July 13, 201015 yr Just discovered the lead single "Tightrope" from Mark's chart and I've got to say this is great. The single is free on iTunes this week for those that haven't already got it, and the album is released this week. VIDEO: pwnefUaKCbc
