Amelia Fletcher

Graças aos Los Campesinos! fiquei a saber da existência da Amelia Fletcher.
O que tem de especial a Amelia Fletcher? É cantora, guitarrista e economista!

Fletcher's many bands helped to define the evolving twee pop movement. Though their sound ranged from lo-fi to power-pop with forays into electronica, Fletcher's wry lyrics and simple, girlish vocal style gave the bands a unified tone and formed the basis of a small but devoted cult following.

In addition to her music, Fletcher is an economist working in competition policy. In 1993 she completed a D.Phil. in economics at the University of Oxford titled 'Theories of Self-Regulation'. In 2001 she was appointed chief economist at the Office of Fair Trading.
