Made Of Bricks - Kate Nash CD

2007 debut album from the UK songstress Kate Nash. Pop music with indie sensibilities and an experimental edge permeate much of this album, and it is topped off with Nashs distinctive estuary vocal stylings. Since the albums release, Nash has been the talk of the town in the UK, where she regularly appears in most of the music magazines from NME to Q. She has quickly risen the ranks from darling of the critics to commercially-successful artist, and deservedly so. Features 12 tracks including the single Foundations. Universal. To find out what the 20-year-old singer-songwriter is made of, one need only look at the title of her debut album – Made of Bricks. Nash whose straight-forward tales and warm, winning voice catapulted Made of Bricks to the number-one spot on Britain's album chart in its first week of release She's capable – on the impossibly infectious single Foundations” – of detailing the crumbling of a relationship in perfect detail, and self-aware enough to turn the mirror on herself on Mouthwash,” a lilting look at a girl with a thousand opinions and not the time to explain.” Credit a good bit of that charm to the singer-songwriter's guileless willingness to get in touch with her inner child – a sassy creature who comes to the fore most clearly on the Tim Burton-inspired Mariella,” on which she channels that innocent spirit with unfettered joy. Her earliest recordings garnered a huge MySpace following, not to mention raves from kindred spirits like Lily Allen. She made her recorded debut less than a year ago, with the cheeky electro-folk bopper Caroline's a Victim,” which sold out its initial pressing of a thousand copies almost overnight, a testament to the song's catchiness and Nash's no-B.S. attitude. Nash scored a deal with Fiction Records less than two months after that first single hit stores. Quickly, she began combing through her notebooks to cull the songs that would come to make up Made of Bricks, paying close attention to the ones that were the most embarrassing to play, because those ended up being the ones that people liked the most.” More often than not, Nash holds down the disc's fort on her own, alternating between acoustic guitar and vintage synthesizer (the latter being the base for the lighthearted opener, Play”). Now and again, however, producer Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Babyshambles) drops her into a bit of a sonic maelstrom, and she responds with verve, flaunting an impish charisma on songs like the Pumpkin Soup.” No matter what the setting, however, Nash's personality comes to the fore, making Made of Bricks one of the most unique debuts of the season
