Helicopter Girl – aka Jackie Joyce – skirts that mellow sonic realm of chill out but never slips too far into the ambient mode.

I have been spending many hours on Arts and Crafts reading about this solo album and even have a downnloaded sample track 'skinny boy'. Would love to check out her whole album and also definately interested in hearing Jason Collett. Thanks for your post on them! I Love Amy Milan from her beautiful voice when she sings in Stars.
