My first reaction was to recoil from the sound, but it grew on me, as I took it more and more as an instrument.

EDIT: took her voice more and more as an instrument.

(Late to the party, but…)

I was a fan of her ‘Milk-Eyed Mender’ album, which was mostly just her voice and harp. She did some brilliant counterpoint stuff on the harp, even sort of a reggae tune with ‘The Book of Right On.’ Her voice has matured since then, but I still kind of like her without much instrumentation.
