Katie Powderly
Katie Powderly’s music permeates the boundaries of genre, inhabiting a space somewhere between Americana and folk. It transcends the confines of linear chronology, as well; it is vintage and current, nostalgic and prophetic. Respectful of tradition while remaining relevant, Powderly presents a promising musical hybrid in her painstakingly hand-hewn tunes.
According to Adam Hajnos at Flying Rooster, “It’s folk noir with a kind of David Lynch-y dreaminess, as though Powderly is struggling to stave off a sort of encroaching darkness. Her pairing of beauty and sadness is one not easily rivaled. But fear not-the album is not a downer. Far from it. It just demonstrates her ability to acknowledge her demons, and maybe even dance with them a little, before casting them off into the night as she makes her first tentative steps toward dawn.”
“Her voice wraps itself around a melody and before you know it you’re hooked,“ he continues. “The songs lure you in, seep into your
heart, and linger in your ear throughout the quiet of your day.”
