Singer Songwriter Kathryn Rollins makes music that mutters at you from the heart … and sparks with emotional rawness.
Grown up in Fremantle, Western Australia, she was taught a lot about music from her father, a jazz guitarist, this included jazz harmony.
In 2008, Kathryn Rollins met Kav Temperley (Eskimo Joe and Basement Birds) and started to make demos -this led to Kathryn signing with the development label – Dirt Diamonds.
After this, her debut EP “Reckless” was created.
We’ve been listening to ‘Cut & Paste It’ – written & produced by Kathryn Rollins & Steven Schram 2014 :
On her previous tunes, Kathryn has sounded like Nancy Sinatra – and has performed to stripped down sounds … in this new song she is accompanied by a matrix of well-defined and expressive synths.
These creak and bubble – to provide a series of low-burps that cradle that magnificently muggy voice.
Her voice is lush and dreamy vinyl chloride.
It is also sultry, deep-lined, and earthy…
At times, it feels biotic and fibrous – like corn stalks mulched down into a nutrient medium.
The verse is almost spoken, before plunging back into the misty deep. The chorus shines and folds in on itself.
The song is about the accumulation of confident affection (cut and paste that kiss) – it is slinky and unabashedly erotic.
