Description:

The "quirky-somethings" — including Regina Spektor, Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, and Rufus Wainwright — are redefining the singer-songwriter genre with their eccentric, genre-blending styles. Regina Spektor, with her classical training and unique storytelling, stands out for her imaginative piano-based music and collaborations with acts like The Strokes and Kings of Leon. While quirky-somethings embrace an underground ethos, they draw inspiration from diverse sources, including 1960s folk artist Vashti Bunyan, and resist mainstream pressures. This collective offers a refreshing counterpoint to more commercial pop, championing authenticity and creativity over mass appeal.
