Kat Flint - Dirty Birds (2008)

Link

“Scottish songstress and illustrator Kat Flint makes wonky, wordy, warm indie-folk that swings from dark to foot-tapping and back again in the space of four minutes. She likes real sounds rather than electronics, making music out of snipping scissors, suitcases and sellotape. She has earned her stripes playing intimate solo shows across the UK and regularly collaborates with a host of rather excellent unsigned musicians.

Recently signed to Albino Recordings, Kat’s debut album ‘Dirty Birds’ (funded entirely by fans) includes songs about Soho strippers, junkyard prostitutes, her little brother marching off to war and the bombing of an Iraqi wedding… not necessarily in that order. She has received early radio support from the likes of Radio 2, Radio 1 (Scotland), 6music and Xfm Scotland, was The Metro’s first ‘One to Watch’ of 2008.

“…one of the rising stars of folk… from out of the left field and with an understated quirkiness.” - Fatea
