Product Description
One Little Indian is pleased to announce that Kathryn Williams has signed a new deal with the label and will release The Quickening on July 6 in North America. The new record was recorded at Bryn Derwen studio in North Wales. Co-produced with David Wrench, the album introduces samples into Kathryn's acoustic folk and contains some of her sharpest songwriting to date. 'It has a mood,' she says, 'a slightly sinister palette with lyrics that are raw. I see myself in the songs a lot, whereas before I invented characters.'

Often favorably compared to Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, and Beth Orton, Kathryn Williams has 5 albums and a Mercury Music Prize nomination under her belt. She has toured with Ray LaMontangne, Billy Bragg, David Gray, and Damian Rice among others. She was also featured on the BBC4 documentary, What Leonard Cohen Did For Me. In addition to The Quickening, One Little Indian will be releasing Williams Relations, a collection of cover songs including Leonard Cohen, Nirvana, Tim Hardin, Neil Young, Lee Hazelwood, and more in North America in the fall of 2010.
