NATALIE PRASS – ” Why Don’t You Believe In Me “
Posted: March 16, 2015 in MUSICTags: Jenny Lewis, Natalie Prass, Spacebomb
Lush with horns and keys, Natalie Prass’s self-titled debut album is a classy and deeply retro take on heartbreak. But rather than use Memphis players, like Cat Power did for her landmark 2006 album The Greatest, or even her own Nashville neighbours, Prass holed up in Richmond, Virginia, seeking out Spacebomb, the house big band-cum-studio of country soul wizard Matthew E White. Prass’s assured voice, one that packs both flutter and muscle, is caressed and challenged by the arrangements, which are never short on groove. Last seen playing keyboards for Jenny Lewis and supporting Angel Olsen, the 28-year-old Prass sounds nothing like a debutante, and everything like the finished article; her album is released on 26 January 2015, accompanied by her first-ever London show the following night
When Bjork recently spoke about the tendency to credit men with the genius of a woman’s art, she could have been looking straight at critics about to write about the fantastic debut album from Natalie Prass. Over nine songs, Prass shows a range in songwriting, from anthems to confident R&B burners to whimsical prairie folk to theatrical grandeur. It is the debut of a songwriter not struggling to find a voice, but fully formed and confident as all hell. She makes knowing nods to Joni Mitchell, Lesley Gore, Diana Ross and Joanna Newsom, all while seeming natural and instinctual. She is the product of her influences and still original.
NATALIE PRASS – ” My Baby Don’t Understand Me Anymore “
Posted: January 30, 2015 in MUSICTags: Jenny Lewis, Matthew E White, Natalie Prass, Spacebomb Records
Swoonsome, soul-tinted singer-songwriter offering from Natalie Prass on Spacebomb Records, collaborating with the label’s Matthew E. White. Think Muscle Shoals reborn for the 21st Century – not to be missed!,“My Baby Don’t Understand Me” is the opening track on Natalie Prass’ self-titled album, and what an opening it is. Prass, a member of Jenny Lewis’ backing band, recorded the album at Matthew E. White’s Spacebomb studio in Richmond, and the crew of musicians they rallied rounded out her deeply vulnerable, Joni Mitchell-esque folk-pop with orchestral grandeur. Jenny Lewis, who is Prass’ boss right now, just made a really great major-label singer-songwriter album, but it’s not anywhere near this rich. We’re just not used to hearing music that sounds like Natalie Prass anymore. It feels like a luxuriant shock to the system,

Last year, Ryan Adams and Jenny Lewis hit the road together in support of their new albums; in Adams’ case, it was his self-titled LP, while Lewis showcased her Adams-assisted third solo album “The Voyager“. One of their stops was an appearance on the Austin City Limits ,
Jenny Lewis and Ryan Adams were the featured performers on the last weekend of January’s episode of Austin City Limits. Lewis played tracks from her two solo albums and a few Rilo Kiley tracks, while Ryan Adams did as much of a career-spanning set as he could with only six songs. This was Jenny Lewis’ first solo appearance on the show, and her first time on the show in almost a decade after she performed with Rilo Kiley in 2005. Adams hasn’t graced the ACL stage since 2006. Jenny Lewis also performed a web exclusive “Slippery Slopes” one of my personal favourites.
Jenny Lewis setlist:
“Silver Lining”

JENNY LEWIS – ” Slippery Slopes ” on Austin City Limits

The other half of the January 24th episode is dedicated to Jenny Lewis, who makes her debut ACL visit as a solo artist and her first appearance on the show in nearly a decade, when she performed with Rilo Kiley. For her six-song televised set, Lewis taps new album tracks alongside “Acid Tongue” and the Rilo Kiley single “Moneymaker.” watch Lewis and her band take on “The Voyager’s” “Slippery Slopes.” Jenny Lewis and Ryan Adams will also hit the road together for a string of dates kicking off April 30th in Louisville, Kentucky.
Late-era Rilo Kiley getting synthesized and glossy, just like late-era Fleetwood Mac, who they were constantly compared to. As a California band fronted by romantically involved songwriters who split years before their band did, Blake Sennett and Jenny Lewis had a leg-up in the back story department too. Here, they share a lead à la Buckingham/Nicks over spangled guitars, singing of crumbled love and dreams, two of their elders’ lyrical trademarks.
