Polly Scattergood Scatters Good Tunes


Mute will release Polly Scattergood's self-titled debut album May 19th, 2009. Album single I Hate The Way will be released via Mute on 10" and digital download February 24, 2009. The single includes the exclusive B-side "Poem Song." "I Hate The Way" follows Scattergood's debut single Nitrogen Pink.

Polly Scattergood is a rare talent, a musician who can make the disturbing sound delightful. Built around fractious yet delicate guitar and piano (she plays a stylophone and accordion too), and Scattergood's distinctive voice, the album is produced by Simon Fisher-Turner and Gareth Jones.

She sounds something like Kate Bush meets Kate Nash on hard drugs and could probably kick your ass. Her songs lure you in by sounding fragile, but in all reality are sharper than a wall of razor blades. It's haunting stuff that's pretty damn good...in a psycho sort of way.
