Jessica Pratt - Jessica Pratt LP

I’m generally a little bit wary of musicians I hear about first from reading the New York Times but maybe Jessica Pratt is the exception to the rule…

I’m totally oblivious to her last two records, but with her first returning to print, it’s become one I’ve reached for regularly the last couple of weeks! So many records seem to breeze through with references to Sybille Baier gracing the press release, but this is one that actually lives up to the label. An inheritor to the off kilter folk approaches of Joanna Newsom and Josephine Foster, a contemporary to Maxine Funke, or a precursor to the whimsical double tracked vocals of Hana Stretton’s LP last year!
