When Bandcamp dubbed Jessica Pratt “a lo-fi Nancy Sinatra,” they weren’t kidding. Inspired by the dark hippie end of the 1960s in L.A., Pratt croons over melodies infused with dance rhythms like the bossa nova. Read Stephen Coss’s interview with Pratt here. Opener June McDoom honors folk artists like Joan Baez and Judee Sill, among others, delivering breathy vocals over stripped down instrumentation.
media release: Jessica Pratt is having a truly remarkable 2024 with the release of Here in the Pitch, out this past May via Mexican Summer. The album, “an anachronistic, dreamlike blend of folk music and chamber pop” (Los Angeles Times), is being hailed as one of the year’s best, shows are selling out all over the US and Europe, and the album’s lead single, “Life Is,” was just used by CHANEL to close out their Fall-Winter 2024/25 Haute Couture Show. On the heels of opening for Beck at the Hollywood Bowl, Pratt made her late night television debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert July 11 with a gorgeous performance of “Life Is,” further solidifying this momentous time.
"To listen to Jessica Pratt’s spectral folk music is to be disoriented by time. Her songs have always been like a back-alley portal to a lost decade or a vestige of childhood consciousness." — New York Magazine’s The Cut
