From Out Of the Ash Comes

Charlotte HatherleyCharlotte Hatherley
Genre: Indie
From: United Kingdom


For all the lip service paid to spontaneity in rock music, it's a quality that manifests all too rarely in contemporary rock, indie or otherwise. At some point, the image of the tortured genius pulling out hair over murky mixing-board wizardry dug into the public's consciousness and became part of the rock 'n' roll myth, but if we think about it, we eventually realize that no matter what digital wonders the new year brings us, some part of us will always hunger for raw clarity and simplicity in our music. Look no further than Charlotte Hatherley, who will release her third album 'New Worlds' October 13th on Minty Fresh.

Charlotte, who has been putting in stints with Bats For Lashes and Client in addition to her solo work, recorded New Worlds in one frenzied week in London - no demos, no overdubs and no time to spare. With her back to the wall, Charlotte created an album that finds revolutionary truth in colors, art and scenes of emotional honesty, and she channeled her jaw-dropping guitar chops into a visceral work that reverberates through the primal parts of your synapses.


After touring with Ash since age 17 and departing for a solo career in 2005, New Worlds marks the point where Charlotte truly comes into her own as an artist. The lyrics to 'New Worlds' include 'we can make, such bright such great, new worlds' and with New Worlds she succeeds in creating amazing, bright and inspiring New Worlds.
