"Just one of the best things I've heard all year. Wonderful wonderful stuff" Gideon Coe, BBC 6 Music

"This Is The Kit should be knighted for the fact that they create a wonderfull atmosphere with one singer an accoustic guitar and percussion only" altsounds.com

SARABETH TUCEK

Sarabeth was born to a psychiatrist and a psychologist in Miami, but grew up in New York. She was a latecomer to music, her first calling being acting. However, after a few years in Hollywood, her singing and songwriting was encouraged by people on the music scene she fell in with. She first made an impression singing backing vocals on Smog’s 2003 album ‘Supper’ and then in the film ‘Dig!’, where she sings a song she had just written called ‘Something For You’. The Brian Jonestown Massacre went on to cover the song (retitled ‘Seer’), but Sarabeth’s own version became her debut single, on Sonic Cathedral, back in February 2007.

Sarabeth Tucek releases her second album, ‘Get Well Soon’, via Sonic Cathedral Recordings on April 4. It will be available on limited-edition heavyweight vinyl, CD and as a download.

LIZ JANES

"Janes’ baseline standard is beautiful, brave and uncompromising." Exclaim.ca

If you ask Liz Janes about her new album, Say Goodbye, she’ll tell you she wanted to make a soul record. Now, before you start gettin’ any James Brownian ideas, let’s let Liz explain.

Says Liz she loves noise and experimentation far too much to make it straight and, Besides, I’m not a real soul singer. I wanted to make music with real meaning, that would be nourishing and comforting to the listener. I wanted the music to be inspirational and full of light without ignoring life’s violence. This is Liz fighting to make sense of the world and offering up a goodhearted, unpretentious experimental pop record.
