I've noticed that I seem to do a lot of comparisons on here (sounds just like so-and-so, etc) - that's because I think that gives you a better idea of what something sounds like than the various genre-labels people come out with (for example, saying an album is 'post-grindcore shitbeat' means nowt to me, but saying it's 'Like Metallica attacking Bob Dylan with hammers' gives me at least a vague idea of what I'm in for).
That said, Polly Scattergood REALLY sounds like Tori Amos.
Luckily, she sounds like good Tori Amos (circa Little Earthquakes, Under The Pink), rather than incomprehensible-batshit-drivel Tori Amos (erm...pretty much everything else, really).
I'm actually fairly obsessed with this album at the moment - it's one of those that just seems to get better and better each time you listen to it. And I've been listening to it a lot!!
Have a listen to I Hate The Way. Or Please Don't Touch
In fact, balls to it, listen to Bunny Club and Nitrogen Pink too. And then go buy her album. Ta!
