The Fat Angel Sings

Jennifer Castle – Pink City: Jennifer Castle crafted one of the more beautiful records of the year. Hailing from Toronto, her voice recalls the energy of Laurel Canyon like some 40-year-old folk record might. But “Pink City” is much more than a yesteryear retread. Gentle rolling guitar, Owen Pallett’s lush string arrangements and Jennifer Castle’s voice – an indefinable thing that is at once fragile, delicate and rugged – are just some of the elements that make up this collection of gorgeous, pastoral folk songs.
