_______________________________________________________________________
æHey SonÆ is the haunting first single from The Leaf LabelÆs
latest signing, Nancy Elizabeth, giving us a dramatic taste of
the delights to come on her debut album, Battle and Victory,
to be released in September. The single will be available as a
download, and in a limited edition of 600 numbered 7ö singles
for the world.
Packing a lot into its three minutes and 20 seconds, the
dynamic æHey SonÆ opens with a Davy Graham-inspired guitar
figure and NancyÆs unmistakably Northern voice, building to a
crescendo of crashing percussion and dense vocal harmonies.
The B-side song (exclusive to this release) is the evocative
æLive By The SeaÆ, a recording of just NancyÆs voice and the
churning drone of an Indian harmonium.
The 23-year-old Wigan-born singer has been writing and
performing since she was 14. She has played more than 50 gigs
around the UK in the last year alone, including slots with A
Hawk And A Hacksaw, Tunng and James Yorkston among others. She
is currently putting together a small touring group to augment
her already much-loved acoustic æone-girl-bandÆ shows which
feature primarily Celtic harp and acoustic guitar.
