Jessica Pratt - Here in the Pitch

A brief, beguiling collection of songs that sound like they escaped from the 60s and arrived mostly intact but with just a trace of their time travelling passage remaining. I see I used that same word, beguiling, when talking about her On Your Own Love Again but it's the one that comes to mind - these songs wrap you up, mesmerise, whisper, seduce. Yet there's nothing twee about them. Instead, they stand strongly in their own lines, insisting on their self-ness. I like it a lot.
