Listen With Sarah

"The sounds of Listen With Sarah seem to me remarkably redolent of the sweetest and most peculiar Englishness; the Englishness of eccentricity and natural strangeness." (Plan B)

"Absolutely essential. Support this with all your heart. DIY future bliss." (Norman Records)

Describing her unique sound as 'breakbleet farmcore hulastep serendipity,' Sarah and her computer have been making beautiful music together since 2002. In 2004 Sarah sent a 3 track demo to the much missed John Peel, who quickly picked up on the EP and played 'Animal Hop' on his Radio 1 show. In the next few months before his death in October of 2004 John played no less than 9 of Sarah’s songs on his shows. After John's death Radio 1 DJs Rob Da Bank and Huw Stephens continued to play Sarah’s compositions and she gained international recognition and airplay. Listen With Sarah also appeared in the 2004 and 2005 Festive Fifty charts.

2006 was a busy year for her, she released her first material since the now unavailable highly acclaimed debut album Are You Sitting Comfortably in the form of the single 'Another Nice Mix,' recorded a session for BBC Radio 3’s Andy Kershaw show and had the track 'Blue Parsley' appeared on the Sunday Best compilation Folk Off alongside Vashti Bunyan and King Creosote amongst others.

Now, Cherryade is proud to present two releases by listen With Sarah: a 7" single of two of her most popular tracks, 'My Little Hula Girl' and 'Animal Boum!' (CHY007), and a CD EP, The World of Listen With Sarah' (CHY008), which expands upon her delightful mash-up madness. Both are available from the Cherryade sales page and selected independent record shops around the country. You can find out more about Sarah at her website and myspace pages:

"Lying somewhere between the all-out plunderphonic sample madness of Cassetteboy and Peoople Like Us and the synapse-busting bastard pop of Richard X  or Evolution Control Committee, yet retaining a sort of warmth not afforded of the aforementioned and their zany mash-ups." (Vanity Project)
