Funny, I've never thought of her as overwrought before, certainly not compared to Courney/Tori/PJ (all of whom use their overwrought voices to good purpose). Like, there's this ever-present ache in her voice, but she never bashes you over the head with it.

Her lyrics are impressionistic and evocative and would look simplistic on the page; her voice really brings them to life, for me.

I'm sure I've heard Mary Gauthier but I can't remember exactly what...

Well, live Lucinda's the loud version of overwrought, while on album she veers more towards the mumbling method-acting version. Can't say I've never giggled at Courtney/Tori/PJ, either. Of course I'd tick almost any Courtney product in a second.
