I Pick You – Midtown Dickens (307 Knox Records)

Midtown Dickens inside cover says recorded on May 5th 2005 in Rebecca’s study and it feels just like that. It feels like it was sunny that day and Kym and Catherine invite a few friends by for tea and a little sing-a-long.

The songs are quirky. The backing is sparse but diverse. Catherine chimes in on bass, drums, trombone, harp, guitar and saw while Kym shows off her multi-instrumental skills on guitar, trumpet and ukulele.

This is a happy record, not too serious. The vocal harmonies are beautiful. And, that damned “Tetris” song will be careening around in your brain for weeks.
