Thank y'all for the loving words! We ourselves still hold SputnikMusic as the gold standard of high taste, so it feels extra fulfilling when we're received warmly and positively here.
And yes, as heck said, I made a post on my Facebook profile (I'm on there as Jamie Earthside and people are welcome to add me if you wanna be pals!) and it got WAY more comments than I ever could have bargained for, but over the following 6 months, I proceeded to check out a handful each day until I got through them all! Keturah was suggested to me several months later via DM by someone who'd just discovered Keturah herself and had remembered seeing my post. We're very grateful that this person had the thought to message us, as Keturah is now honestly among my favorite vocalists in the world. For me she evokes Jeff Buckley with more fire and grit with little sprinkles of Janis Joplin, Dolores O'Riordan, and 90s Björk. She's both remarkably vulnerable/ethereal and an absolute firebreather/powerhouse.
As for Jonas Renkse, believe or not heck, we **may** have heard of him before your suggestion. 😉 He is not slated to be on our new record, as we didn't have a song that really fit him, we felt. But during the 'A Dream In Static' era there was a song that almost worked out for him to do but then fell through. We felt that song was perfectly tailored to him, so we didn't end up releasing that track, so PERHAPS some day we'll hit him up again and see if he wants to do it, and we'll release it 10 years after the fact. ;)
