Nomy Lamm – Effigy


Effigy is a 2003 album by Nomy Lamm. It combines accordion, layered vocals, sound effects, and electro-driven drum beats. Lamm’s official website states the creative purpose of the album was “to create a heartfelt goodbye to her hometown and its control over her”. In the summer of 2003 the album was produced as a full-length theatrical rock show, and Lamm went on the road with it while performing songs from the album.
