Too Many Spirits

Amanda Thorpe
From the artful storytelling of urban folk-rock to the pulsing rhythms and languid
beauty of trip-hop, the music of English-born singer-songwriter Amanda Thorpe is never
easy to pigeonhole (though it tends to lodge snugly in the subconscious).
While staying
true to her strong sense of melody, Amanda writes smart, often intensely personal songs
whose roots in folk and jazz subtly challenge our expectations of familiar forms. Which
is not surprising, considering Amanda's background as a classically trained musician
and influences as diverse as haunted British pop poet, Nick Drake, and the sultry
Francois Hardy, to guitar god and word smith Richard Thompson, the Velvet
Underground and Blondie.
