I've noticed Elizabeth Fraser's vocals are often referred to as 'indecipherable' in both this and the "Tiny Dynamine" article. I'm not sure if this is an accurate term, and it also tends to make assumptions about the way that she sings or writes lyrics. Although there are many people who try to match her vocal sounds to specific English (or Scottish-English) words and sentences, that undermines the fact that she may not be singing in any specific language at all. She could be singing in a glossolalia, or, more likely, a partial glossolalia, since some English words are quite clear in her songs. I would recommend that her lyrics are referred to as 'English-sounding', 'English plus glossolalia', or 'sometimes English and sometimes undetectable'. Anyone else have thoughts on this?
