Kate Walsh - Tim’s House
January 29, 2008
NEW IN MUSIC: Kate Walsh is a 24 year old singer/songwriter from Brighton, England whose songs are so delicately moving that one can actually hear the proverbial pin drop when she sings. A classically trained pianist who turned to the guitar as a teenager when she began writing songs, Kate cites Joni Mitchell and Tori Amos as major influences. Her sophomore album, Tim’s House, was released in the US today.
Jesca Hoop - Kismet
November 6, 2007
This is the most original album I’ve heard in many moons. Jesca, “was living in her van in Sonoma County when KCRW played her song and launched her career”. That song was “Seed of Wonder”, the second track on this diverse and complicated album. Moving through dreamy imagery with didn’t-you-know charisma, Hoop keeps us guessing. I am reminded of Regina Spektor. This is a great find!
PS. I believe the track “Money” was recently featured on the show “Dirty Sexy Money”.
