Emerging: Catherine A.D.

A gentle, coy, nearly-too-endearing-for-its-own good emanates from Catherine A.D., a woman who hones her honeyed voice over lilting piano and simple orchestration of drums and chamber-pop-instruments. Many comparisons have been made to a sort of hybridization of fellow countrymen Kate Bush and Patrick Wolf, but we actually hear much more of Stories From The City-era PJ Harvey. She's just released an EP called Carry Your Heart, and in its three songs, we get all sorts of wonderful fire, chanteuse-like cooing and dark sturm und drang. Seems like working with Liam Howe (Sneaker Pimps) and Bernard Butler (Suede) really seemed to have paid off. You can preorder a copy of Carry Your Heart (a limited 500 hand-crafted discs are available) from her MySpace page.
Tracklist:
01 Carry Your Heart
02 Waiting To Breathe (Bedroom demo)
03 The Book Of Love (Magnetic Fields cover)
(mp3) Catherine A.D. - The Book Of Love
Godspeed!
