Orion Rigel Dommisse - What I Want from You Is Sweet (2007)

Dark, cello-based folk from American musician Orion Rigel Dommisse. Layers and layers of cello and synths, with gently off-kilter vocal melodies sung in a sweet (perhaps sardonically so) lilt.

I generally try to avoid making assumptions about people's influences, as it's been done to me multiple times in reviews that have asserted that I'm influenced by artists who I've never even fucking heard of, and it's extremely frustrating. That being said, Dommisse is clearly a Rasputina fan, but she has a greater sense of subtlety, not to mention more palatable vocals.

Track listing:
1. Fake Yer Death
2. Alice and Sarah
3. Simon Sent for Me
4. A Faceless Death
5. Capricorn
6. Ashes from Your Burning Wood
7. Suicide Kiss (Because Dead)
8. A Giver
9. Little Neighbor
10. Drink Yourself (To Death)

The dead showed no one warmth
