Psalm and Squall

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Drawing on a variety of musical influences from traditional Celtic aires (a la June Tabor) to contemporary pop music (Kate Bush), Psalm and Squall should satisfy a wide range of tastes - not only by the remarkable vocal range and emotional power of Janie's voice - but also by the wonderful lyrics that Janie pens as well. Produced by Daniel Crommie, who also played many of the instruments.

4 out of 5 stars Now this is a surprise!.......2001-12-21

a British singer/songwriter putting together a gem of a debut that runs the gamut stylistically from Enyaesque atmosphere, to moody neo-folk, to pop, with some clever lyrics adapted from Shakespeare, Wordsworth and Ovid, recorded not in Jolly Olde but in Portland, Oregon. Janie Mitchell's flexible voice resembles Kate Bush one minute ("Renascence" or "Takilma Nic") and Dead Can Dance (if they sang intelligible English lyrics) the next. She gets a lot of good input from multi-instrumentalist Daniel Crommie (synths, drum programming, flute, and penny whistle). From the Welsh border to Portland, Oregon - hat's off to New Weave Records for a real discovery. (Dirty Linen, 1993)
