Really taken with the One Little Plane CD on Text. I think her vocals have that magical quality inherent in early Cat Power & Mirah records, a breathy, lustrous quality over some spiritual krautrock/Velvets minimal backing. The songs unfurl slowly with all sorts of slightly shambling chimes, twinkles & strums and rattly percussion keeping the whole vibe buoyant & refreshing. At times it sounds like Four Tet remixing Scout Niblett (he produces this album called 'Until') at other times like something utterly delicious from the vast K records back catalogue (check the single!) This lass has a spirit & a purity which we really need in music at the moment & I reckon Hebden's done us the world of good shoehorning this rare talent into the public eye!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

A twist on the singer-songwriter tradition, One Little Plane is a musical epiphany straight from the unfaltering beat of one little heart - the captivating Kathryn Bint.
lYou may have first heard the beguiling voice of One Little Plane on the Four Tet remix of ’Melody Day’, the single from Caribou’s latest album Andorra (2007).
lOriginally from Chicago, Kathryn relocated to London in 2003, where she began recording in her flat with producer Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) in 2005.
lTogether, they created One Little Plane’s distinctive soundscape of unique instrumentation: a combination of
electric and acoustic guitars, small percussion, thumb piano, melodica, keyboards, vibraphone, samples and
multi-tracked vocals.
From the acoustic wanderings of title track ’Until’ and ’Make of Me’, to the heavy drums and multi-tracked vocals of ’Lotus Flower’ and ’Nobody Out There’, to the playful pop beat of ’Sunshine Kid’, like a book of short stories, each of Kathryn’s songs are a lyrical journey into a secret garden of everyday wonders and melodies.
One Little Plane is a new signing to Text Records, the label run by Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) that released acclaimed albums ’Happiness’ and ’The Sun’ by Fridge.
The album was produced by Kieran Hebden who has in the past produced Foals, James Yorkston and Beth Orton, done remixes for artists such as Radiohead, Bloc Party and Battles, and released a number of successful albums as Four Tet.
One Little Plane’s music will appeal to fans of Cat Power, Bat for Lashes, Beth Orton, and Feist.
One Little Plane is confirmed to play at the Field Day festival in London this summer.  More live dates to be confirmed soon.
