Review
There's a hushed intimacy to Kathryn Williams's voice that recalls Nick Drake (without being quite as haunting or profound) and Beth Orton (without being as sonically diverse as, say, Central Reservation). Little Black Numbers is quietly seductive, like the second glass of a good red wine. There's nothing flashy here, but the tasteful accompaniment of acoustic guitars, cellos, and Jonny Bridgwood's melodic double-bass serve Williams's sad, sweet songs well. This album won't dramatically change lives, but it will greatly improve almost any late evening. --Keith MoererOften mentioned in the same breath as Nick Drake, Liverpudlian folksmith Kathryn William's debut album comes hushed in the same otherworldly mystique as Drake's Bryter Layter, a world away from the kooky clichés of the lucrative singer-songwriter market. Williams is a fiercely independent artist; it's entirely possible that Little Black Numbers wouldn't exist, were it not for the unsolicited enthusiasm of the press and the strident patronage of a small but perfectly formed cult following. It's easy to see why Williams inspires such adulation, though--Numbers is warm, unforced, and straight from the heart: "I used to follow you around in a casual way/ Miss good shows on the radio/ Just to see your face", sings Williams, breathlessly infatuated on "Stood." Tender, never sparse--Williams employs a mini-orchestra of double bass, cello, saxophone, and a myriad of more exotic percussive instruments--this CD is the soundtrack of love lost and love found. Hold it close. --Louis Pattison2000 release now reissued from vocalist who gained widespread critical acclaim and a place on the Mercury Music prize shortlist. Her voice recalls Nick Drake, Beth Orton & Joni Mitchell.Follow Up to her Critically Acclaimed Debut Album 'dog Leap Stairs'. Self Produced and Mixed in Colaboration with Pj Harvey's Producer Head.
