EMILY JANE WHITE - Dark Undercoat - CD
imprec242 - CD - $11.99 
Enormously urgent remastered, repackaged repress/reissue for this much buzzed about record that tragically went out of print just as demand was erupting. Includes lyrics & a bonus track.
Armed with little more than an acoustic guitar and her fragile alto, San Francisco folk singer/songwriter Emily Jane White offers complex tales of melancholy and isolation. While comparisons to contemporaries like Cat Power and Hope Sandoval are frequent, Emily's music owes a clear
debt to classic female jazz and blues singers such a Billie Holiday. The lead track "Bessie Smith" from her debut Dark Undercoat is an homage to the influential legend.
Wild Tigers I Have Known, from Dark Undercoat, recently appeared on the soundtrack for the Cam Archer film of the same title (soundtrack on Durtro/Jnana) and Rolling Stone recently placed Emily in their top 5 Hot List in which they describe the aforementioned song as "melancholy as a rainbow glimpsed through the bars of a prison window."
" It's plenty tempting to name Cat Power as White's closest sonic contemporary, but for all her songwriting skill Chan Marshall can't evoke the blunt isolation that makes it easy to imagine White singing
solo in an empty country chapel at the end of a dirt road." Spin
"Dark Undercoat's sparse tracks unfold at a reflective pace, with White's plaintive croon draped over minimal guitar, piano and percussion arrangements." Rolling Stone
"Dark Undercoat is a slow stunner." Venus Zine

This deluxe
double cd, priced the same as a single disc, pairs up Diane
Cluck's 2nd full length album Macy's Day Bird with
the ep titled Black With Green Leaves. Macy's Day
Bird was released by Diane in an elaborate tiny handmade
edtion in late 2001. Black With Green Leaves followed
almost exactly one year later also packaged by Diane. These
are arguably Diane's most compelling, immediate and striking
works and it was these two recordings that originally caught
the ear of Important Records in 2001 |

Mojo Magazine Underground Album Of The
Month July 05'
“This record is by my favorite singer-songwriter in all
of New York City. I'm so happy to be alive at the same time
she is because i get to see her perform. It's her and guitar
or her and piano or her and harmonium. Her lyrics are so good,
when i play this for people they stop doing everything and
are quiet for hours after." Devendra Banhart |

On break
from Rough Trade and her band The Moldy Peaches, our friend
Kimya finds herself at home on Important Records releasing
two albums at once. Both albums are full of unique, original
and beautifuly moving folk songs about Matlock, Atari 2600's,
love, growing up, growing old and the Golden Girls. Kimya
is one of the most unique voices in modern music and we're
honored to be releasing these albums.
Both albums were recorded after her Rough Trade solo debut
and both prove to be even stronger. |
