Catherine AD released a mini-album last month called 'Communion', which you can purchase from iTunes here and Amazon here. The album was recorded with Catherine and an all-female string section at the legendary Church Studios in London's Crouch End (aka the birthplace of the Eurythmics' 'Sweet Dreams'). And Catherine is giving away the evocative piano-driven track 'Going Wrong' for free. Listen to and download it below.

In late spring of 2011, Catherine AD and her all female string section recorded new mini album Communion , live and in a single day. Communion is a collection of songs stripped of drums and modern technology that are haunted by a heavy heart and her incredible voice, which is by turns haunting, mesmerising, and chilling. The record will be released as a mini album on Outsiderhood on 10th October 2011 and precedes a full length album, to be released in 2012. A limited number of special editions of the [...]

I've been following the development of Catherine A.D. for over a year, maybe even two. In celebration of her new EP, Communion , she is giving away a lovely track called Going Wrong . The project was produced by Marina's collaborator, Liam Howe , using piano and strings. If you like Rufus Wainwright (and other women, haha), you should check this out. It's perfectly autumnal. [...]

It's been a while since i dedicated a post just straight down the line to the wonder that is cover versions......well it's been a while since i did a post at all actually! But here are some absolutely sublime cover versions that have been tickling my ears recently. Some are old ones i've had lying around for a while and some are ones i've just discovered. For example, i was unaware of MBV covering THAT classic! Anyways, have a listen and feel free to download. LOUIS ARMSTRONG - WE HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD [...]

With The Fall still ringing in our ears from the night before, we woke on Sunday morning knowing that this was the day that Summer Sundae would take off. Better weather was finally expected, no bands had dropped out, and the lineup was the superior of the three days. Looking at the programme, Joe and I soon realised that we'd be back and forth between the main and indoor stages like pinballs all day; but it was an exciting feeling, as there were some superb bands to be seen. The first swing of the flipper had us on [...]

In case you need more gloom-drenched piano ballads in your life, you'll want to hear British export Catherine A.D. The singer, whose early EPs evoke a more adventurous Sarah McLachlan (or for that matter, a more adventurous Mazzy Star) makes her U.S. debut tonight at Public Fiction (749 Avenue 50) along with Dark Dark Dark and Emily Lacy. Hopefully she plays the #changehearttobuttsongs version of this Hurts cover, which she transforms from hyperactive Cut Copy/New Order play-acting to a slowed-down classic.

You know what's tasty this time of year? Smooth, sweet and cool ice cream. I just had some - well a variation on the theme since I can't eat dairy- and it brought to mind another tasty item, cover songs. Since I'm still in too much of a food coma to finish off the post I had started earlier today I am instead sharing with you the musical equivalent of the huge serving of ice cream I just inhaled. These are the top picks from my recent covers acquisitions. So, eat up! I Love You Always [...]
The kooky and spooky gothic folk chanteuse Catherine A.D. has slowly creeped into our consciousness over the past few months, and so when we were offered the chance of sitting down and asking a few questions we jumped at the chance... Hello Catherine, what are you up to today? Packing for my American adventure tour of the greatest pianos of the West Coast . Seems you've been compared musically to all sorts of people from Tori Amos to Polly Harvey via Nick Cave and Jeff Buckley. How do [...]
