Kate Walsh - Tim's House

After a 'lost' album on Kitchenware, here is the debut album proper from Kate Walsh, a new singer-songwriter who is already causing a stir at Radio 2. Counting Ravel and Debussy as a key influences on her melodies, and also learning from Joni Mitchell and Talk Talk, Kate has created a soothing, richly sensual work. 'Tim's House' is an admirable contribution to the quiet revolution. Packing heart-stoppingly beautiful songs - (if 'Your Song' - currently being plugged to radio- doesn't move you, we respectively suggest you check your pulse) - the album has maturity and finesse way beyond Kate's years. For all the subtle strings and unhurried grace of the guitar on 'Tim's House', it's Kate's vocals that ultimately make it special - she sings with the humanity of Kathryn Williams and the soft bell-like clarity of The Sundays' Harriet Wheeler while sounding like no one but herself. A record of great heart and class.
