Review by Anna Maria Stjarnell
English singer Katy Carr makes a potent brew of folk
and rock. Her refreshingly theatrical approach makes
this a good debut.
Vocally she has some of PJ Harvey's
power and Kate Bush's sensuality.
The whimsical
"Marmalade Duke" is a welcome contrast to more
abrasive songs like "Knickers" in which Carr sings:
"You've pulled my knickers off
and left me by the
kitchen sink".
The balance between light and dark is
what makes "Screwing Lies" so strong.
Carr is an interesting new voice.
