This debut release from Melbourne-based Mandy Wragg is a collection of songs based on her personal experience, and her observations of life. In keeping with the title, all else has been stripped away, and what remains are beautifully crafted lyrics, uncomplicated guitar, and a voice that can range from heartbreakingly delicate to intensely powerful and haunting. Influencedby artists such as Sarah McLachlan, Jeff Buckley, Jewel, and Alanis Morisette, this is a must for anyone who wants to feel something.
