The extraordinary debut album by English singer/songwriter Amanda Ray has already garnered favourable comparisons with the likes of Joni Mitchell and Janis Ian, not to mention Ray's own muse, the late Elliot Smith. Drenched in melody and melancholy, and stirringly produced by Jude Rawlins, this eponymous release has "instant classic" written all over it.

Dark, mysterious, fragile, existential… Amanda Ray’s haunting songs are imbued with a deep lyrical imagery and a passionate heart. They are delivered by Ray with a raw beauty that lands somewhere between Karen Dalton and Sandy Denny, although she is also capable of edging into the sheer emotional firepower of Janis Joplin or Stevie Nicks. The perfomances are gift-wrapped in Ray's own spectacularly delicate southpaw guitar picking, ensuring that these songs are literally possessed by pagan folk wisdom and heartbreaking confession.
