about

Rebecca Clamp's debut album released on Folkwit Records in 2005.

“I don’t like this sort of music normally, but …

In the female singer-songwriter stakes, Rebecca Clamp is my tip for the top. With free-flowing literacy, she paints somewhat beautiful song-pictures of an elegant romantic world of delicate intense emotion. It’s a consoling, compelling world of quiet style: an impressionist painting, a Bloomsbury short story or a French arthouse film. Yet Rebecca packs real power, through a voice someway between Patti Smith and Melanie, and through the stark solitude of an artist alone with just a rippling piano for accompaniment. There’s a particular sense of an artist crafting from nothing something refined and softly vital, not a reflection of the world but a sculptured microcosmos: an elaborate, softly contoured but emotionally real dreamworld, an audacious nocturnal leap, indeed, of tasteful decorum.

And it ain’t just me who thinks so. I’ve played the album to all of my house guests, and they all like it very much too.

Furthermore, the appeal of Nocturnal Leap is enhanced by the knowledge that this so-English young lady has emigrated to Finland.

So if you like Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell, Bjork, those sort of singers, you’d be an idiot not to check out Rebecca Clamp.

Tell you what, if you buy this album on the strength of this review and don’t like it, let me know and I’ll write you a personal note of apology.” 5/5

- Rychard Carringon, Rock ‘n’ Reel Magazine
