Natalie Prass - Natalie Prass

2015 album from the Nashville-based singer/songwriter. Not only one of the sharpest up-and-coming songwriters in Nashville, Natalie Prass possesses a rare artistic method she infuses into all her endeavors. She handcrafts album artwork and flyers and organizes local vinyl listening parties/drawing sessions, and there appears to be little end to the homespun creativity of this bright young talent. She's also no slouch in the pipes department either - the girl can sing. While her delicate alto evokes clear benchmarks of influence - see early Rilo Kiley, Feist, Karen Carpenter, etc. - Prass never seems weighed down by the artists she's absorbed. Instead, she has developed a refreshing guitar-grounded musical vocabulary and a knack for infectious and entrancing tunes. Still, it's a spirit of invitation and friendship that continues to be Prass' most pronounced attribute.
