Anyone who missed Megan James' recent performance at Rutherford House missed Giraffedactyl in its natural habitat: ornate, history-steeped settings where even the smallest movements can resonate with meaning and portent. With a bit of a debt to Joanna Newsom, James crafts incredibly intricate, lushly worded piano songs, almost bracing in their sheer fragility. Most notable is her voice, a delicate, shimmering glass figurine of a thing shaped around her heady but naturalistic metaphors. If she can create this much mood on a simple EP, her full-length is going to be absolutely gutting.
