Carly Sings - Apple Tree

Carly grew up in the countryside in Wicklow, Ireland, She moved to Lyon, France, as a teenager, and trapped inside her boarding school perched on top of a hill, wondered if she would ever meet Thom Yorke. A few years later, she arrived in Paris, where she bought a guitar in a pawn shop and took jazz singing lessons.

"The Glove Thief" her debut album, emerged from an idea inspired by the archive of demos she had been collecting and recording in her bedroom (quite secretly until myspace made her public), made with an old Sony microphone. The songs, appear like diary entries. . Recorded in two studios and at first independently released in Ireland 2008, then officially in France in 2009, "The Glove Thief" garnered Carly and her "cristalline" singing voice, an overwhelming amount of press attention for its unconventional catchy melodies, low-fi sensibilities, vintage references, and a kind of dirty innocence in the lyric writing. Much touring followed. The second album is now written. Watch this space for news on its imminent arrival and surprise singles.
