biography
Named for a halloween costume based on an Edgar Allan Poe short story, Poe gained a contract with Atlantic during the boom of female singer/songwriters during the mid-'90s. Originally from New York City, she moved around frequently with her parents -- a director and an actress -- but returned to New York at the age of 16 when they divorced. Poe enrolled at Princeton, and played in a band during her time there. Signed to Atlantic in 1994, she recorded an album with several producers and co-writers and released Hello the following year. The single "Angry Johnny" pushed Hello into the album charts, and during 1996 Poe supported Lenny Kravitz with a band including guitarist Darius Adkins, drummer Dan Jones, bassist Toby Skard and cellist Cameron Stone and headlined several tours of her own. Five years after her critical debut, Poe returned with Haunted, an album rhythmically adjacent to her brother, Mark Z. Danielewski's novel House of Leaves. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

- Poe had some problems with her record label after "Hello" came out. She was battling them for a long time. I think that's why it took so long before she made the album "Haunted". I wouldn't be surprised if she hasn't put anything out because of all the junk she went through with Atlantic. I wish she would though because she is fantastic and I miss her.

- I really wish Poe would put out a third album. The first two are brilliant.
