'Teeth and Tongue' is the name Melbourne based Wellingtonian Jess Cornelius goes by at present. She formerly fronted 'Moscow Schoolboy'. Her debut album 'Monobasic' was released in 2008 and is an intriguing collection of songs. On "There Is a Lightness to My Bones" we get to hear her impressive vocal range, with sudden changes in tempo. It starts off nice and slow with a beautiful keyboard backed verse.... you could easily think you were in a restaurant and expecting a cover of Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are" up next.... however, things do change in an instant. She basically threw away the songwriters manual with this song and what a great result. A fantastic song from an idiosyncratic singer/songwriter.
