Completely enchanted after listening to these magnificent little gems by Chicago singer Emily Cross aka
Cross Record.
Black Cat starts silent and almost frail before it develops into a dynamic experimental folk hymn, with complex guitar and string arrangements built around multilayered tracks of Emily's voice.
The song is part of the seven-track debut EP
Magnetic Current, available digitally via
bandcamp or on a hand-packaged CDr released by
Another New Calligraphy.
