Album Notes

Album Preview: December 2009 The Crack Magazine:
”A rather fine forthcoming album..in the shape of ‘Breaking the Spell’…contemplative ..strident… ‘Get Go’ even unexpectedly cuts loose in a manner that I’d – without hesitation- describe as ‘groovy’. It’s like The Tom Tom Club doing folk. This is a good thing. She’s got a great larynx too, with the same sort of grit in her voice as someone like Martha Wrainwright, which instantly commands your attention. ”

January 2010 Bluesbunny - … a voice that evokes both the hippy trippy moments of sixties’ folk singers and the more urban sounds of a post punk princess like Lonelady. ….. this is no standard attempt to grab your attention. In fact, there is not much regard shown at all to what a female singer should be doing these days. With no power ballads and no sugary sweet love songs, Ms Dalton presents an independent approach to discordant times. Even the arrangements of the songs tend towards the episodic. .. The highpoint of the album for me was “Never Lets Me Rest” which is a pretty much perfect depiction of confusion in song…I also can’t remember the last time I had to work so hard at listening to an album. Was it worth it? Yes, it certainly was.

Jan 2010 Detour Magazine: The Irish born singer mixes a range of sounds within each song. Sometimes showing off her melodic side, style similar to Katie Melua, while others a more grunge/punk version of Meg White.
