Sagittaire, the project of San Fransisco based singer-songwriter Ivan Mairesse, recorded two covers for Aquarium Drunkard's The Lagniappe Sessions: The Necessaries's More Real (MP3) and Leslie Winer's John Says (MP3). About that last track:
The tone of the voice and how it blended into the backing track surprised me, and the combination of her delivery, on-screen look, and production choices defied categorization. Like Arthur Russell, her output was not widely embraced immediately, possibly because it was so forward-looking. I continue to revisit her work and share it with others whenever I get the chance.
