Amy Solylo @ The Lansdowne, 9th Jan

“Amy Solylo doesn’t hide behind the guitar, with these six strings almost there as an afterthought. The barely-there chords end up as a lurking, remorseless backdrop to a voice that will probably still be skittering to the rafters and back long after you’ve read this. The lyrics are dense and tell complicated tales, but the work is being done almost entirely by those vocal melodies that rattle up and down the scale before you can catch a breath. Parton-ish twangs mixed with Hersh-like intellectual mischief, chock full of dark and witchy magic.”
