Here's a brand new 3" CD on the ever dependable Rusted Rail label. It's by Brigid Power Ryce and it's been recorded by the UK and US by Liam Watson and Eric Carbonara. She's a singer songwriter who has a very potent, powerful voice. I'm listening to this live for the first time as I type and it's by far the most striking thing about this EP. The track 'Lost Night Girls' is doing it for me as I'm totally sold by the vocal performance. The songs themselves are folk infused singer songwriter affairs which will appeal to folks who like Marissa Nadler, Haruko and the ilk. 'You Are Here' is a totally delightful 3" EP and I genuinely can't recommend it enough. Let's see if you're floored by those vocals 'n all!
Norman Records

A truly outstanding release on one of my favourite labels. Two of these tracks were recorded at ToeRag Studios and the other three in Philadelphia by Eric Carbonara and the sound on all five is warm and full. Brigid plays 12 string guitar and sings with a languid free-flowing style, reminiscent of Tim Buckley. Highly recommended

Five track ep on the Irish-based label Rusted Rail from avant folk artist Brigid Power Ryce. recorded in Philadelphia with Eric Carbonara and also in London at Toe Rag studios with Liam Watson. The ep features some beautifully haunting avant-folk sounds from this Galway-based artist. Its a lovely raw kind of stripped down sound simply featuring steel-strung acoustic guitar picking and vocals. Almost like a more rustic Cat Power with the weirdness of Joanna Newsom. Comes in a lovely hand stamped three inch card sleeve, all lovingly hand made by the Rusted Rail label.
Road Records

Proving that the ladies can be equally as tormented, Brigid Power Ryce's "You Are Here" has a melancholia coursing through it that congeals in the yowling sadness of her voice. 'Like A Sun' in particular makes a deep impression, with its downhearted 12-string strumming framing the vocals perfectly, recalling heartbreaks as old as time. It's appealingly under-produced, making Power-Ryce's long dark night of the soul even crueller.
