🎧 Von Strantz, "Through the Looking Glass". Disclaimer: Jess (nee) Strantz is like a daughter to me. Jess and her collaborator Kelsey created some fantastic music in their years together. With Jess' piano and glass-smooth vocals leading the charge, backed by Kels' cello and violin, drums, and whatever worked, the songs are smart and mature art pop. They never made a bad record. Timeless.
