SORROW / Let There Be Thorns (2001)

Rose McDowall, the Polka Dot Queen of all things Gothic and Neo-Folk, teamed with her husband, Robert Lee, to make Let There Be Thorns, a dreamy mini-album/maxi-single. Rose sounds like Julee Cruise in mourning. It's Rose… what more do you need to know? Everything she touches turns to white gold.

Songs of Note: Let There Be Thorns; Despair
