I've always loved when a singing voice still allows room for the accent of the singer to appear. Too often, songs are sung in that generic 'english tongue' that could just as well be from Sweden or Seattle, and you'd be none the wiser. Not that there is anything wrong with that; it's just that sometimes it is nice to hear a song sung like those that come out of Annie's lungs; the kind where you can hear exactly where in the world they are coming from (Scotland, in this case). It is nice to be able to put on my headphones and imagine myself sitting in a cafe in Edinburgh, rather than one in Edmonton.

And that hand drumming is charm incarnate.

“"i have been mistaken for myself" tells two stories, the stories of annie accidental pre and post successful relationship. Some songs are about lovelife failures (as usual) and bad weather (also, as usual) but then there are ‘zuko’ and ‘not if, when’, showing how I'm dealing with having somebody quite great in my life. And one word to sum that up: "neurotic".”

The entire album for your personal consumption over on Annie Accidental's bandcamp page.
