“I kind of see Little Warrior, the just-released EP from Olympia folk artist Eleanor Murray, as the release that fans will one day search out (i’m thinking of releases like Modest Mouse’s Interstate 8 and Archers of Loaf’s Vs the Greatest of All Time). Though perhaps one of the most humble and down to earth people I know, Ms Murray is bound for greatness; anyone who sees her play live is, pretty instantly, a fan and last year’s For Cedar (her debut full length) was great from start to finish. Little Warrior is a little more off-the-cuff than For Cedar, though; not necessarily a cohesive album, but loose in the way I feel an EP like this should be. One thing I love about it: she gets weird for a song or two. “The Fox” is a haunting, reverb-drenched, bow screechy mini-epic and the interlude that follows it is a jammy organ thing. There’s more of her standard, minimal folk, there’s a big epic, and then there’s the title track. What starts as a fairly innocuous-sounding folk song builds into an intense hypnosis of rounds and harmonies that makes my mind run marvelous circles.” -Letters with Mixtapes
