Another Leaf Label signing! ESSIE JAIN
The Leaf Label can boast a second signing during the January transfer window, in the form of New York based English singer and songwriter Essie Jain.
An album of quietly powerful minimalist chamber-folk, Essie's debut album 'We Made This Ourselves' was released last year in North America through Ba Da Bing (who brought you Beirut) and will be released in the rest of the world on Leaf in the spring. As well as Jain, the album features features guitarist Patrick Glynn and contributions from percussionist Jim White (Dirty Three/Nina Nastasia/Will Oldham).
Essie is currently playing her live shows as a quartet with Glynn on electric guitar plus a drummer and a bassist/trumpeter. We are currently planning UK/European dates for this spring and summer.
If you cannot wait to see Essie live, take a look at these marvellous videos filmed on the streets of Brooklyn by La Blogothèque:
