Release Notes:
--------
Cathy Davey is the daughter of a musician father and a sculptor mother whose
childhood was spilt between England and Ireland.
Her schooldays were equally as mixed an affair, with CathyÆs individualistic
instincts tending towards rejection of organised education. This invariably led
to friction followed quickly by suspension and inevitably to expulsion. Her
schooling did lead though to the nurturing of her artistic talents and Art
College beckoned before the lure of music would brook no competition.
Cathy took to writing songs easily, but with the smallest record collection
ever, she had little to reference her work to, so she kept it to herself. Her
first gig, at an æopen-micÆ affair, brought a manager and the bedroom-demos led
to a contract with Parlophone main-man, Miles Leonard.
A beautiful, sunny summer spent in Wales with Ben Hillier resulted in æSomething
IlkÆ the critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful debut album.
Supported by 18 months of touring û torture for her as she suddenly realised she
was a very long way from her bedroom and singing to strangers wasnÆt at all fun
ûthe album didnÆt reach a wider audience without Radio support.
Almost three years on and Cathy Davey is ready to release æTales Of
SilversleeveÆ her second album on Parlophone. This time though the album was
recorded in much the same manner as it was written; in various houses in Ireland
and London. A methodology ensuring Cathy could develop her songs to their
specific requirements rather than the costly meterÆs-running, approach of the
big studio. Her co-producer, Ex-Sneaker Pimp, Liam Howe, helped Cathy to
continue her experimental approach to recording but ensured that the songs
retained their immediacy - probably the single biggest difference between the
two albums. These new songs, æRuebenÆ, æSing for Your SupperÆ, and æMovingÆ,
etc. wonÆt take a second listen before they snare you good and proper.
