“I’m a sucker for an interesting voice and Anna Kunz, also known as Torture, will stop you in your tracks with her rich, rough vocals. Reminiscent of Cat Power or early PJ Harvey, they have a raw power and intensity that’ll have you pumping your fist in the air or crying your eyes out. Probably both.” Get In Her Ears
