There are albums – sometimes debut records – that introduce themselves with overt gestures, announcing their arrival with the subtlety of an air horn through a megaphone. Those LPs can be brilliant and instantly engaging. But sometimes, a debut comes along with charm and wit and an up-close-and-personal style that almost sounds like you’re sitting right there with the musicians, experiencing the creation of something unique and special. Katy Pinke gives us the latter.

Pinke, a Manhattan-based singer-songwriter, takes cues on her self-titled debut album from artists like the Roches, Bill Callahan, and Aldous Harding. While her infectious soprano can, at times, sound like it’s coming from a place of naïve purity, the quality of that voice and the songs it sings bear the burden of a musician and songwriter with a wealth of talent and experience.
