Honestly, Mark, after hanging out with her and her band for two hours and 
seeing her three times 
I can accurately predict that she would love Erdem's stuff.

She's got a very sophisticated musical palette that incorporates some 
noise,  found sound and 
some of the best synthesizer programming (that is decidedly out of the 
box) in her simple 
pop music.

She has as many avant garde sensibilities in her work as someone like, say 
Bjork (to mention a 
mainstream successful artist who has embraced 'out of the box' 
sensibiities.

that's why I love her work so much is that she appeals to all the things I 
love musically:
great rhythm (and sophisticated rhythm), avant garde timbral sensibility,  
beautiful and 
sad harmonic sensibility,  a sense of play without being self concious and 
'precious' about it.

I dont' know how many of her CDs you've heard but do yourself a favor and 
go listen to 
her first two or three.         The latest one is a bit more mainstream 
sounding to me and I like it less 
(though I still like it).
