Laura Gibson's not quite Theremin
On a recent episode of NPR's All Songs Considered (this one, as a matter of fact), the show opened with a one Miss Laura Gibson. The song, as played on ASC (her MySpace has a different version), features a certain familiar haunting whine ... but I don't think it's a theremin! Her cast of characters includes a saw player, so as far as I can tell, that's what this is.
Whatever it is, her music is beautiful. You can here more here and here. As Daytrotter (the second link) puts it: "Without getting too mushy, Laura Gibson makes you want to cuddle. She makes the sort of soft sound that feels like bedding and comforters and logs crackling above a tame, but toasty fire."
