Two years on from the surprise Mercury Music Prize
nomination, Little Black Numbers and feisty yet tender
songbird, Kathryn Williams releases 'Old Low Light'
- a delicately profound and moody exploration of modern
living - a kind of Bridget Jones in the country with
her wellies on.
As twisty-turny as an autumn leaf - Crud rates the album
as one of the best of 2002 . It's sparse, it's pastoral
and it's often wickedly amusing - not unlike a boiled
down Badly Drawn Boy at his 'Hour of the Bewilderbeast'
best - or a more whimsical and less unbearable Belle
and Sebastian - steeped in circumstantial observations
and lined with the lyrical flow of a dog-eared paperback.
From the crisp, stabbing doublebass intro of 'Little
Black Numbers' to the crisp desultory reflections of
'3am Phonecall' - the album melts like a packet of tasty
prawn crackers in a finger-bowl of water.
But don't take our word for it - check out the streams
below.
