Simmons, Sylvie
Sylvie
Light In The Attic has an impeccable reputation for uncovering rare and precious albums from the past. "Sylvie" is haunting and out-of-time-but it is also a brand-new, original debut album, by a singer-writer who has been making music since she was a little girl but just for herself. Like Devendra Banhart says, Sylvie is "a gem of an album, fragile and fearless, direct and poetic, timeless and absolutely beautiful. Like Rosalie Sorrels meets the Only Ones." Or Isobel Campbell on a lost desert night, maybe, with only the moon and a ukulele for company.
