Neev - Katherine [Vinyl] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Debut album, Katherine, a collection of intricate indie-folk songs that pack a lyrical punch. Much of Katherine was recorded at Neevs home studio and the homes of a host of talented musician friends. It was really important to me that the album wasnt only a group of songs but that it would also be a learning curve for me, and it was! I learnt so much about arrangement, frequency, the range of my voice and the way I like to construct songs and write, she says. Katherine carries all of the trademark sounds of Neevs previous releases. Acoustic guitars, soaring string arrangements and layered backing vocals can be found throughout, but this time theyre bigger. Standout single Green, a song about envy, calls to mind artists like Marika Hackman and Fenne Lily. The track was born out of the relief Neev felt being reunited with her band post-lockdown. It just fell out of me, she says. I think my brain just wanted to write a big, fun track for us to play together, she says. Every song on Katherine is tied to the idea of identity. Each song explores the different facets of an individual, explains Neev. Them as someones child, someones sibling, someones partner. Someone as the gender (in my case, female) they identify as, someone as the job they do, she continues. In certain scenarios we play a role, at work were professional, at our family home we play out our function. Each track adopts a different role.
