This single precedes the ‘Fragments’ EP out on the 29th and available on cassette and digital, and is the lead track from the EP. Dee Sada is a singer songwriter who is inspired by the poets Anne Sexton and Slyvia Plath and outsider artist Mary Barnes, not to mention the German band Malaria! Oh,and Indian classicist M. S. Subbulakshmi. So I guess we should expect something mystical, musical, meaningful and moody then? Well in a way that’s what we get with this song.
It is her voice over a simple plucked guitar riff and is therefore a vehicle for the lyrics and yet to isolate the lyrics would not do justice to the overall effect which is quite compelling. It reminds me of two things. 'Trinity Sessions'-era Cowboy Junkies for the hushed reverent tones and also a less frazzled Mazzy Star. This song does not reach the heights of those artists but it certainly shows enough promise for me to want to hear the rest of the EP. And those lyrics? Relationships can be such a bummer yeah?
