Influences
I don't aim to sound like anyone in particular but the following artists to name but a few have kept my soul smouldering away in this dank dungeon that is the ordinary world...
The Arcade Fire, Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Jokate Benson, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Psychedelic Furs, Joni Mitchell, Jeff Buckley, Patrick Duff, Paco de Lucia, William Orbit, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Human League, Gary Numan, The Folk Implosion, Debussy, Strangelove, Steely Dan, The Pentangle, Elliot Smith, Ultravox, Alice In Chains, Nerina Pallot
Suzy Condrad - sitting with poise and about to be unavoidably tagged 'a dusky beauty' - begins a song with spider web-fine, finger-picked guitar, and implores that someone stop the carousel from turning. Decorous second guitar and softly chorusing backing vocals add their weight to the plea. Later, houses fall down and rivers rise. Voiced with depth and the precise, just-so phrasing of 60s folk-pop, it's melodrama of the most gently seductive kind.
- Julian Owen, Venue Magazine 2008
First release on Oxeyedaisy Recordings, in association with Grumpyman Records…
5 track CDEP, Green Leaves & Bare Branches, by Little Scratch. Limited edition run, with hand finished sleeves. Tracks can be previewed on Little Scratch’s myspace page.
“A rare sighting of the excellent Little Scratch, who produce a wonderful, slightly hazy pastoral sound… Psychedelic whimsy with distinctly melancholic overtones”.
