If Jenny Lewis had a twin sister who wrote gentle folk-pop tunes, it could be Cassandra Violet. This Echo Park songwriter sings swaying ballads behind mellow acoustic guitar and soft orchestral arrangements. Her songs are gorgeous, mournful, moving expressions of love and life. With the song "Game of Pretend" she diverts tactics a bit and creates a beat with only her voice on a loop machine. Violet brings a quiet intensity to all her songs. (Amulya Datla)
