Sylvi Alli 

A Hundred Birds

By
Details: Bay Area bands, show us what you've got: Send CDs to Local Licks c/o the Express, 1335 Stanford Ave., suite 100, Emeryville, CA 94608.

Enough to make Joy Division sound like a pop band. Alli's bleak incantations hang over muted, minimalist instrumentals in songs with names like "Blood," "Flesh Has Flown," and "Dying Star."
