Modern Anguish (vocals removed) by Norine Braun Norine Braun : Modern Anguish (vocals removed).
 Jazzed up, funk-tinged eclectic pop..

This is a version of Modern Anguish with the vocals removed by software (Demucs). Tracks that had no singing are unchanged.

Genreblending blues, folkrock, pop this eclectic songwriter showcases her diversity of styles.

Norine Braun's repertoire ranges from ethereal, reflective moods to sizzling bluesy rock that test the limit of popular music. She is inspired by the struggle to find meaning in the human experience. Her lyrics, although provocative, do not lose touch with her whimsical nature.

Reviews:
