SARAH NIXEY announces new album
BRAVE TIN SOLDIERS album press release
Having tied up business with the old contemptibles Black Box Recorder, Sarah Nixey has found the perfect setting for her songs. Where popular music’s very own Andy Gray and Richard Keys cast her as a precocious, sinister ice-maiden who could make the phone book read like The Story of O, Brave Tin Soldiers reveals her to be something else entirely: a warm, connected, exceptional musician and songwriter.
Brave Tin Soldiers is written, arranged and produced by Sarah Nixey. It’s nearest comparisons are perhaps Hope Sandoval – if she moved out of her indie comfort zone; a similar stillness and intensity is present in Julee Cruise, again dreamlike, ethereal, yet strong and perhaps even heroic, and lastly, the most dangerous comparison of all, intelligent music’s holy grail, Kate Bush.
The eleven songs of Brave Tin Soldiers are atmospheric, minutely observed tales of love and yearning, and vivid depictions of past lives swathed in luxurious melodies that rise like ectoplasm to haunt the imagination.
Available as a neat and glorious CD and also via prompt and splendid download on 9 May 2011 from all the usual outlets.
