Broken Social Scene
Concepcion Studios, 2010

Catherine A.D. – “Missiveh” Catherine A.D. is an English singer-songwriter, and the track above comes from her new Skeleton Songs EP (“skeleton” because these are bare-bones, one-take bedroom recordings). You can listen to all of the EP’s lovely songs on Bandcamp, and if you like it, purchase the limited-edition ribbon-tied CD.

(Catherine is also the founder of a new UK-based label/collective called Outsiderhood, which you can read all about here).
