Cruel Sister by The Pentangle
“My for-real jam right now. Sitar and tabla liven up what is already near-perfect modal harmony; I quite enjoy 2:05, when the bass comes in. The story is the familiar ballad of a girl drowned by her envious sister: her ribcage and hair are made into a harp by minstrels who find her remains. The harp, at the living sister's wedding, begins to play on its own, weaving musical curses.”
