NADIA REID - LISTEN TO FORMATION, LOOK FOR THE SIGNS
scissor tail, edition of 350
phenomenal new zealand singer-songwriter debut channeling TIM BUCKLEY, SANDY DENNY and JONI MITCHELL, maybe with a little bit of PATTI SMITH sprinkled in - a rich mash of folk, jazz and rock filtered through a well reserved modern sound, elevating alongside contemporaries LAURA MARLING and RYLEY WALKER -- LISTEN TO FORMATION completely wins me over with it's tinted mood and measured pace while avoiding the all too typical pitfalls of excess - there's something hidden away that inexorably drives NADIA REID, her music, her words, her emotions, something that compels me, that sets LISTEN TO FORMATION apart from most of its kind - for me this is about as good as it gets -- due mid november, sure to sell out fast once the bigtime reviews start pouring in, pre-order while you can
