Puracane

The project known as Puracane is a collaborative effort between composer/programmer David Biegel and singer/lyricist Ali Rogers. Although the duo's most obvious stylistic touchstone is British trip-hop (Rogers has worked with Tricky among others), the uniqueness of Puracane's sound also has a lot to do with plain old back-beatin' rock and R&B grooves. On first listen, vocal style calls Bjork to mind, but Rogers' working class English drawl adds a nice grittiness to the proceedings.
