Post Description

Toting a harp automatically fixes female singers into a collage of Joanna Newsom comparisons. Londoner Serafina Steer, a relative newcomer, is probably a bit more like Laura Marling – well spoken, folk-indebted, ought to be considered for the Mercury – but really she is her own woman. Steer uses the harp, among other instruments, to invoke modern classical composition as much as folk-pop. Even more intriguingly, Jarvis Cocker is the producer of this engagingly original third album. It's an unusual collection of songs that takes in subjects as unexpected as space abduction (on the Alice Coltrane shimmer of Alien Invasion), skinny dipping and Steer's antipathy to London's Brick Lane.
