Description:
With two self released critically acclaimed albums already under her belt 'Screwing Lies' [2001 Deluce Recordings] and 'Passion Play' [2003 Deluce Recordings] Katy Carr is looking forward to 2008/2009. A wonderful and eclectic third album is to be released later this year and she is looking forward to presenting it to you with her new group of musicians comprising of Katy on piano, keyboards, ukulele and voice, Jon Cottle - Cello and effects, Pascale Pooran on oboe and vocals and Becky on percussion and BVs. Recorded in a bedroom studio in Muswell Hill, North London with producer Nick Crofts anticipate a carefully crafted album of beauty honing the talents of Katy Carr's songwriting and the vast spectrum of sonic delights that 'Crofty' adds together with the high quality of additional musicians they have pulled out of London's woodwork...
