Sounds Like: “Occupying gossamer space somewhere between Shannon Wright and Cat Power – with near-folksy phrasing that could pass for the soft-spoken younger sister of Sandy Denny – Autumn Grieve’s impressive new EP ”Another Window”, was recorded with Christian Frederickson of Quarterstick act the Rachel’s. The introspective, placid short-player features cellist David Cho of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra”…"...Her debut EP "Another Window" is a lushly lo-fi, evocative set of originals that fans of Shannon Wright and Jeff Buckley will warm up to.”.…"gentle, intelligent folk music."Bill Ellis, The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, TN.“The opening track “Sea Maiden’s Daughter” begins with a drag of cello and sets the tone for the e.p. as gentle, featherlight guitar threads through the song, complementing Grieve’s wisps of vocals. It’s a pastoral feel which builds into a gentle apex of flowing strings, that draws the track beyond its lulling introduction, but never beyond a point of total release. The second track “Hold the Light” is more heavily structured, acoustic guitars being more forceful, accompanied by a gentle mandolin that evokes a very 60’s era British folk feel, the song benefiting from the alternating use of cello and viola in subsequent verses. The final track “Shine” floats gently and benefits from raw recording techniques and the beautiful cello work of David Cho. It’s a tone that’s intense and rich in texture.”James RiderIcarus, Ireland.
