JESSICA LEA MAYFIELD’S FULL-LENGTH DEBUT WITH BLASPHEMY SO HEARTFELT RELEASED ON POLYMER SOUNDS
ALBUM PRODUCED BY DAN AUERBACH OF THE BLACK KEYS
“Jessica Lea Mayfield is the most exciting artist in the scene today.”—Scott Avett
“...a mature sound that seems evolved beyond her years.”—NPR’s World Café
On September 16, 2008, Polymer Sounds released Jessica Lea Mayfield’s first full-length album titled With Blasphemy So Heartfelt. Seattle Weekly proclaims, “Her languorous, understated, and often dark sound can best be described as Hope Sandoval meets Jim James meets Neko Case.”
The album was produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys and recorded over a two-year span in his home studio in Akron. With Blasphemy So Heartfelt features Mayfield on acoustic guitar and vocals, Auerbach on a variety of instrumentation and Mayfield’s brother (David) on upright bass. Dr. Dog’s Scott McMicken and Frank McElroy provide vocal harmonies on the track “I’m Not Lonely Anymore.” Says Auerbach of the recording experience, “I think she’s dark and moody in a mysterious way, not unlike Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.” He adds, “I’m just always really excited to make music with her.”
Named “Vocalist of the Year” in March by The Cleveland Free Times, the 19-year old first performed with her family band One Way Rider at the age of eight. In 2007, Mayfield lent her voice to the track “Things Ain’t Like They Used To Be” on The Black Keys’ album, Attack & Release, making her the first guest vocalist to appear on any record released by The Black Keys. With Blasphemy So Heartfelt debuted in the CMJ top 200 and in the top 50 on the Indie Albums chart.

The perfect background to your daily pleasures (...) Melody-filled, ethereal and very rich; it's a soundtrack to an imaginary adventure with romance, drama, chases and a happy ending piped in from the 60s.
I'm trying to get the word out that all the songs from my Darla Records debut album "Exclamation Love" are now available digitally on iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, and more. You can get the CD from WATERLOO, darla. com, Amazon, Best Buy, etc... So have a listen and spread the word if you can!!!
