Album Notes

"To say this is an emotionally charged album replete with gorgeous melodies, stunning vocal work and beautifully conceived ideas, would be an understatement."
Greg Cummins, Sea Of Tranquility

"Haunting, sexy and compelling... this is the closest to music nirvana that one can get. One of THE releases of this or any other year." Michael Sullivan, Here & There

"Outstanding.... an album of incredible depth and strength." Russ Elliot, musicaldiscoveries.com

"An album of rare emotional quality.... makes what most other artists are doing seem insignificant.
Nigel Messenger, Phase9 Entertainment



The Mermaid Kiss Album is a collaboration of vocalist Evelyn Downing and guitarist Jamie Field, together with keyboard/bassist Andrew Garman. Based in Kington, UK, they write and produce high quality, original music, which transcends ambient, acoustic, singer songwriter, progressive and rock. Songs vary from the compelling atmosphere of temptation on the track 'Mermaid Kiss' through the hypnotically beautiful 'Write My Name In Stars' to the majestic anthem 'Blind' with its layers of electric guitars and vocal harmonies and from the disturbingly scary 'Soundchaser' to the deeply evocative and catchy rock song 'Like Water'. The subtle use of flute, percussion and atmospheric soundscapes supporting great songwriting makes this album impossible to catagorise. It simply has to be heard.

During 2003, Mermaid Kiss were No.1 for twelve weeks at IntoMusic.co.uk - one of the UK's foremost mp3 sites.

An interview with the band can be found at www.musicaldiscoveries.com/reviews/mermaidkiss.htm

In 2006, the band released a 7 track mini album 'Salt On Skin' which can be found at: http://cdbaby.com/cd/mermaid2

Their critically acclaimed album 'Etarlis' was released in June 2007 (http://cdbaby.com/cd/mermaid3) and both Kate Belcher and Evelyn Downing have received "Best Female Vocal Performance Awards for 2007" for their work on that album.

Haunting and mysterious beauty

This CD ist astonishing different. With only a few instruments and an extremely exciting female voice they created a wonderful mood. And with the occasional flute it even sounds more beauty. Romantic, dreamy, mistery, that's it!

Found the pure beauty at last...

The more often I listen to this CD the more I love it. I liked the voice from the beginning but it took me a little while to find the beauty in the melodies. At first I thought there was nothing extraordinary about them but I was wrong. Especially "This feeling" stuck into my head after the last listening experience. Thank you for these relaxing, dreamlike sounds.

poignant collection from the matchless Mermaid Kiss!
author: Laura Turner Lynch
                            
MERMAID KISS – THE MERMAID KISS ALBUM: The Mermaid Kiss Album is the latest release from adult contemporary rockers Mermaid Kiss. This talented trio from Kington, England self produced this crossover collection. Evelyn Downing is the dreamy vocalist and flautist of the band. Jamie Field plays bass, acoustic and electric guitars. Andrew Garman provides keyboards, bass and drums. Their fourteen-track CD of originals is filled with poetic, picturesque lyrics. Their sound is ambient with shades of rock, pop and atmospheric instrumentation. Mermaid Kiss weaves progressive music with rich vocal harmonies. The album has a distinctive dramatic quality that blends mystical moods with whimsical woodwind moments. The album opens with 'Mermaid Kiss' an eloquent narrative enhanced by Evelyn's vivid versatile vocal control. Soft instrumentation creates a slow burning passion to the soundscape of the song. 'Soundchaser' is haunting featuring beguiling vocal blends. There is a soft subtle beat throughout that sounds sort of like a clock ticketing and melding with stark guitar and keyboards. Vocals are the focal point of this song and others on this poignant collection from the matchless Mermaid Kiss!
