Described by Aurgasm as “gentle wanderings between nostalgia and daydream,” the songs of Priscilla Ahn (and even the voice on occasion) remind me of Aimee Mann, one of my all-time favorite female singer/songwriters. Absolutely lovely stuff. You can listen to both of the songs quoted below here, visit Priscilla Ahn’s MySpace page, and view the video of A Dream at YouTube.
From A Dream:

The stars smiled down on me,
God answered in silent reverie.
I said a prayer and fell asleep.
