Smoke Notes

An absolutely enchanting debut from this Wellington-via-Christchurch duo. Werecat Lullabies has a classy, unassuming beauty – one you rarely find in a debut release. There are shades of Catpower, Joanna Newsom and Beth Orton in here but fans of more commercial names like Norah Jones, Anika Moa and Hollie Smith will also love this album.
Put simply, the songs are stunning. It's not hard to see how the duo managed to take out a national songwriting competition run by Loop recordings which lead to them recording the single 'More Of Me' (also featured on this album). Songwriter and Keyboardist Brooke Singer and vocalist/guitarist Anita Clark recorded the album themselves at home over six month period. For the recording, the songs have been fleshed out with an array of instruments including clarinet, glockenspiel, cello. Minstrel "the singing dog" even pops in for a backing vocal cameo!
To top off a stunning record, 'Werecat Lullabies' is also packaged beautifully in a recycled paper digipack with charming illustrations that match the music's whimsical nature perfectly. Hats off to Jody Lloyd and She'll Be Right records for putting in such a full effort and, of course hats off to Ragamuffin Children for making one of the best debuts we've heard in ages.
