Jessica Pratt

Jessica Pratt, “Jessica Pratt” (Birth, 2013)
First release on Tim Presley (White Fence)’s new label, and it’s a great start. This is stark, voice-and-acoustic-guitar-at-3AM freak-folk that’s genuinely freaky, and haunting. The songs linger in the loneliest places in the heart, and Pratt sings like Jandek and Stevie Nicks’s love child. One of the year’s very best.
Try 1/1, 1 /5.
