This is the thread for the Charlotte Hatherley fanboys!

The song I liked best of Grey Will Fade was actually "Stop," also some wacky guitar riffing. Great fun while driving.

What do people think of her new tracks floating around, "White" and "Colours"? I like them well enough, but they aren't particularly sticking in my air. She's definitely toning back on the murky, underwater sonics of her last album.

Currently loving all heck out of her New Worlds album.

I think "White" is absolutely brilliant, even better than "Behave" which I loved to death when it came out.

That said, "Colors" and "Alexander" aren't particularly doing it for me, nor did the rest of The Deep Blue measure up. I mean it was not boring, but that's a far cry from actually wanting to listen to the whole thing.

"Alexander" is currently my favourite single of the year tbh. Though I think "Firebird" doesn't quite work, the whole album is so, so good. <3 chaz

So apparently there's some degree of American distribution on this album? I've been super-bummed that my favorite currently-performing artist's work has been thus far completely unavailable domestically (mostly because I see no reason why she wouldn't be at least moderately popular in America). And I was super, super-bummed to learn that I couldn't buy a digital copy of New Worlds on amazon.co.uk...only to discover that it's available on amazon.com. Even though the actual CD is still only available at a hugely-inflated import price...

Anyway! Currently downloading and I'm happy (especially since I wasn't even aware that it had been released until this evening). Grey Will Fade and The Deep Blue are probably in my top five from the last decade.

She's 3 from 3 in my book. New Worlds is excellent.

ayo this is a dope album

don't really love her first joint tbh so I'm calling 2/3

"Colours", motherfucker

"Straight Lines", probably the single best song from anyone in all of 2009.

Digger her new track under the "Sylver Tongue" moniker: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012/feb/21/new-band-sylver-tongue

arrgh... "digging"

I heard this on Ollie Russian's 6 music thing the other day and thought it was good. Absolutely no idea it was her though.

I Spoke to two people tonight who mentioned Charlotte Hatherley in conversation and now this thread's been revived. 'how random', as the kids used to say 8 years ago

I heard this a couple weeks ago, but only just now found out she's behind it. Cool

I don't think I've ever head her or Ash before, but I really like ^this.

I really liked her in Ash, but I only ever heard her first solo album. Are the others under her own name any good? I was really surprised when her and Ash parted ways. I know that Ash put out 1977 and the earlier stuff as a three-piece without her, but I always thought that she added an extra dimension to the band.

2nd album is best by far

Another Sylver Tongue track is out now. Maura sez "Charlotte Hatherley goes Curve!!" which I can't disagree with at all.

This is relevant to my interests!

Yessssss. I'm so glad she's doing new stuff and that it's rad. I was starting to fear that she was going to wholly dedicate her talents to KT Tunstall for the foreseeable future.

playing at the shacklewell arms tomorrow, interested londoners. also verity susman! and dat politics.

her new one just appeared on streaming (h/t maura). it's lovely, synth-pop you can swim in

and "accident of love" bangs

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She's basically the only current musical artist I get actively excited about anymore, so this is big.

massively under-rated artist, basically what Old Lunch just said.

I'm confused though, this came out last year?

Finally got round to hearing True Love today. Gorgeous record. Especially loved hearing Green on the last song.

I'm confused though, this came out last year?
