Another Form of Relief

Kate Walsh is a singer-songwriter from Brighton who puts together simple, heartfelt acoustic songs. I stumbled by her Myspace back in August and then found her first album rather randomly at a CD fair in amongst a box of nu-metal and heavy rock. I didn’t take to that album as much as the newer songs that were on her Myspace, and it seems she’s finally finished working on her new album. Entitled ‘Tim’s House’, it’ll be released sometime in March, with the excellent single ‘Your Song’ being released next month. Below is a song from the album sessions that never made the final cut, but it’s still a good indication of what’s to come with the album.

I’m not a fan of Bloc Party (I only really like ‘Helicopter’ and the MSTRKRFT remix of ‘Two More Years’) but I’m addicted to ‘Hunting for Witches’ from their upcoming ‘A Weekend in the City’ album. I’d love to be able to post it here, but I’m sure Wichita would place me under pain of death if I did. I’m sure you could hear it if you knew where to look though. The album itself will be released on February 5.

The Track & Field Organisation, a lovely little label, are running a ‘lucky dip’ offer where for a mere £10 they will send you six CDs from their back catalogue. For anyone unfamiliar with Track & Field, their roster includes bands like Of Montreal, The Essex Green and The Broken Family Band, so you know that you are in good hands.

As if that wasn’t enough, Memphis Industries are running a couple of similar offers. They will send you either 5 full length albums for £9.99 or five singles from their back catalogue for the silly price of £3.49. Memphis is home to The Go! Team, The Pipettes, Absentee, and a ton of other great bands, so you’re going to get something good out of either offer.

Finally we have the strongest candidate for a “what the hell?” posting as Samuel L. Jackson unleashes his own special brand of blues on the world. I have no idea what to make of this and I’m not really a blues fan, but it’s certainly a lot of fun. It’s taken from the Black Snake Moan soundtrack that contains a bunch of blues songs by various artists, and obviously the Jackson thing is something of a gimmick to gain it more attention. Which given the fact I’m posting it here must work pretty well. I’m not sure I could take a whole album of this, but I like Samuel L. Jackson and this is a bit of fun, so I’m willing to play along.
