Kate In The KettleCountry of origin:Scotland Type of music generally:Beautiful & fierce alternative folk with traditional and neotraditional and classical evocative/eclectic roots and an experimental edge Status:Most recent release, Swimmings of the Head (2014) See also:Kate In The Kettle's site Comparisons:Touches of Eliza Carthy, Jorane, Iva Bittová Covers/own material:Own and traditional materials General comments:Kate In The Kettle takes traditional and her own neo-traditional material and sets them in melodic yet edgy soundscapes. Edgy and yet highly listenable, oddball and individual and gorgeous. Jim says it's Eliza Carthy mixed with Jorane, and I say with maybe a touch of Iva Bittová.
