Katie Costello Announces New Album, Lamplight!
Upon first listen, Katie Costello's incredible upcoming release Lamplight (Tiny Tiny Records, February 22) is all soulful melody and tapping feet.
Exceptionally sultry and soaring vocals weave their way into currents of piano, each tune brimming over with a sound you might expect from times past - but don’t get us wrong, everything about Katie Costello is oh-so-today and immediately exciting.

On second listen the lyrics start to jump out at you, swishing swiftly through your ear drums, into your brain and flowing through your blood until they plant themselves firmly into your heart. Upon third and fourth and fifth listen, the record comes together in the same way every great album does, in the moments when you find yourself on an empty street, iPod blasting as you dance recklessly along in the rain doing bell kicks over puddles, happily sheltered under a big black umbrella or when you find yourself on the subway, alone, singing along, out loud.
At the young age of fifteen Katie began to pursue her passion for melody and started work on her debut. She self-released Kaleidoscope Machine at just seventeen to critical acclaim and found immediate champions in the likes of KCRW's Nic Harcourt who added her songs to regular rotation and music licensors who loved her original sound and old-timey vibe and snagged her tracks for shows like 90210, One Tree Hill and Private Practice.
A Christmas baby, she celebrated the holidays that same year with her family and the day after her eighteenth birthday left her Los Angeles home for good and travelled solo to New York City where the young songstress set up shop and began to weave the magic that is Lamplight.
Often compared to A Fine Frenzy, Adele, Regina Spektor and Sixpence's Leigh Nash, Katie is breaking every mold and proving herself to be a leader for the next generation of songwriters and a serious triple threat - incredibly talented, absolutely stunning, and smart as a whip. A dangerously thrilling combo indeed!
