Simply describing herself as a ‘modern British musician’, Eliza Carthy is actually one of the most dazzling and recognised folk musicians of a generation. She has revitalized and made traditional music relevant to new audiences, capturing them with intelligent and charismatic performances as a solo performer, leading her own band and with Waterson:Carthy, her partnership with her parents Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson. This striking new CD of her own compositions will confirm her reputation as a gifted musical conceptualist and composer. An album of changing moods and musical settings, with a chamber orchestra, grunge guitar, Mariachi horns and a jazz band as well as traditional flourishes, Dreams of Breathing Underwater will leave you breathless. Deluxe 3 fold digipak, with a 16 page booklet.
