Liz recorded this in the mid-90's as a teenager and that sort of teen angst and unpolished talent from that era in her life certainly shines through on this evocative recording. This album precedes a more recent collection of songs for another album due out later this year. She certainly has a certain haunting and soulful presence to her voice and live she is quite amazing, spellbinding even. There are many moments in this album that are just truly gorgeous. It's a very unpolished sound though, and is sometimes overly simplistic and lacking in direction. Still yet there is a lot of beauty to glean here, expect great things out of her in the future.

This album is great. It's consistent throughout unlike many schizoid albums by other artists who may have a sparse melody and then the next track will be a showy, broadway-type tune. That is not this album. This album feels well-put together yet simplistic and really lets her voice shine through. I've never heard other albums of hers but I am looking forward to it after "Husk".

So I haven't actually bought this CD yet but I have heard Liz Durrett live on two separate occasions and was completely blown away by her talent both times. Her songs are subtle and some have a dark, moody vibe. They're really haunting and beautiful with unique, fresh lyrics that make you think. I'm a huge fan and way excited about this CD because I have no doubt that it will be fantastic! If you want something new and interesting buy it!
