"Mumfordisation" is a very good way of putting it. I know this is a classic wounded fan-boy complaint but her early eps and radio sessions really are the shit. The first album was good but not as great as I thought it was going to be. The second could almost have been anybody.
I hope to see 'mumfordised' in the Oxford English Dictionary before too long. Alongside pasteurised, sterilised, standardised... made safe for public mass consumption in Tescos and Asda, all worrying quirks, indigestible individuality and sharp edges taken out. Guaranteed 100% bland.
