Liz Fullertons debut, with the pressing of CD’s being funded by KickStarter.
What a great idea.
Shades of Cat Power, but leaning more towards Americana Folk.

I have always really wanted to like Hungry Lucy.
But their releases never seem to go anywhere or turn me on…
Anyway, here is there most recent release for you to enjoy perhaps.

An almost retro 40′s feel to this debut from the Cuties.
Shirli McAllen croons over ukulele, upright bass, brushed drums keyboards, horns and accordion.
Subtlety sexy stuff.

Americana, Blues, Country, Folk, Gospel, Honky Tonk, Rockabilly… Phew!
There is a cute audio player with five tracks from the album over on her website.
Extensive tour this year, including the UK, to promote the new album.

This really blew me away.
Jane Herships goes all over the place from gently folk vocals to distorted fuzz guitar.
I highly recommend you take the time to listen to the whole album.
This album is available via Bandcamp at a name your price fee.
Not quite sure what is going on with her website, the homepage seems to be wrong. You can access it from this link straight to her bio page:

Fronted by Anna Brønsted, their second, more upbeat, full release after the totally soporific 2008 When Your Blackening Shows.
They are playing at the Bestival, Isle of Wight UK in September.
Our Broken Garden – ‘Seven Wild Horses’ from the album ‘Golden Sea’
This version is a bit more upbeat than the album version.

A solid debut fronted by multi-instrumentalist and singer Zohra Atash.
Gothic Kate Bush anyone?

Her sound gets less and less on each subsequent release.
Really down to lovely bare bones on this 2010 release, which I missed.

Velvet vocals and piano with the occasional non intrusive backing instrument.
An utterly divine debut.

Some good ole raw Americana from Amy’s third album release.
Tons of live videos over on her website for your enjoyment.

American cosmic rock, apparently.
It does have the feel of a 70′s “anthem” album I guess.
Check out all the tracks over on their website.
Nicely challenging.

Indie rock, folk, noise stuff.
European tour August – November.
