Leslie Winer is a bit of a mystery. After working as a well-known model in New York, where she got a reputation for being "difficult to work with" (therefore heightening her appeal to fashionistas), she met William Burroughs and Jean-Michel Basquiat, dropped out of the scene, and produced "Witch", prescient album (called the grandmother of trip hop by NME). Then she seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth, only to occasionally resurface doing vocals for second-hand artists like
Bomb The Bass and
Mekon.
