Counting Laura Marling, Neil Young, Daughter and Fleet Foxes amongst her many influences. Now having just released her new EP 'This Old Hat', we can expect great things from this new breed of heart-warming pop folk music and Velvet Engine will be sure to drive it in the right direction with her catalogue of honest yet timid and catchy songs." "a record filled with romance and heartache alike. Crystalline vocals, mellow guitars and glittering glockenspiels feature throughout from the innocence of Another Colour and Two Winters In A Row to Like A Scar's rootsy sorrow - two great live performers captured on record.
