Last September, NYC-based singer-songwriter Jennifer O'Connor signed to Matador Records. Described as the label's next Cat Power, I quickly downloaded "The Color and the Light" from her website and was quickly blown away (See my Top 20 songs of 2005 for more details). And while her first long-player for the label won't be released until this August, she has released a single entitled "Exeter, Rhode Island" on the Matador website. This Rhode Islander, for one, wants to know the backstory.
