Essie Jain: debut album in February
The label that brought us Beirut is set to break out Essie Jain in February. Ba Da Bing Records will release We Made This Ourselves on February 13. We're told that Essie Jain will perform quite a few US shows in '07, potentially touring Europe. We Made This Ourselves will be pre-released online as a digital album while we wait for the CD.
Self described as "very British," Essie Jain is a London native that now resides in New York City. She has appeared on Patrick Glynn's The Lost Americans recordings and co-produced We Made This Ourselves with Patrick. Essie's song, Why, was released on Kill Rock Stars' The Sound The Hare Heard in May, 2006 and Essie toured the East Coast in July to support it.
Ba Da Bing writes:
"Her album, We Made This Ourselves, is a sparse affair, with piano, guitar and a some subtle touches of percussion (courtesy of Jim White of The Dirty Three). This is one of those albums that are just stunning listens‚ dark, honest, intense."
Essie Jain – Glory
Essie Jain – Haze
