      From: sunofmusic@gmail.com              (Brooklyn, NY, February 2015) With a well-bred attitude brimming with       substance, both musically and lyrically, Kerchief is a welcome departure from       what a listener might commonly find from a "twenty-something" female artist on       today's Top 40. Kerchief (       born Brittany Hill) hails from Ohio, but currently lives in Tennessee, brings       a middle America sentimentality and work ethic to her most recent meticulous       recording work with producer Matty Amendola.              After calling it quits with her band of seven years, Vanity Theft (Vigilante       Music/Adamant Records) Hill's main focus was writing; Towing inspiration from       the journey that has led her to where she is today. With five releases, two       acclaimed web shows,        and worldwide touring history with Hunter Valentine, Taking Back Sunday, and       Sick Of Sarah, going solo was a cathartic experience that traced illustrations       of what she was going through at that time.              "This album is a chance to connect with all those working so hard to make ends       meet and make sense of life, and to remind them to cherish the moment," said       Hill. "One day you'll look back and remember what it was like to want to work       so hard for        something you believed in, and you'll wish you were back there facing the       unknown, but doing your best."              Throughout the upcoming album, Hill is commanding attention, asserting herself       with the confidence that she needs to be heard. Listeners will not take long       the answer the call.              "Machines & Animals" offers tracks that expertly weave Hill's smooth voice       with the edge of her songwriting and lyrics. Guitar riffs bite into bass lines       that ebb and flow with emotional vocals, taking inspiration from a personal       journey. Heavy drum        beats and layered guitars articulate the feelings behind stories of the       pursuit of finding purpose in life's daily struggles, reflecting an evident       influence from '90s alternative rock.              "From the writing process to pre-production, to the recording process with       producer Matty Amendola, to the finished product, I feel that the songs became       fully realized," said Hill. "I never had to bite my tongue. The songs were       written from a raw        emotional place, experimented with in the studio and brought to their full       potential with Matty in Brooklyn, NY. This is the best thing I've done to       date."              Amendola knew working with Kerchief would be a perfect fit as soon as he heard       her demos. Working closely with engineer and Grammy Award winner Butch Jones,       he created a sound that would bring Kerchief's debut album to life.              "What separates this record from the other indie rock out there, is that the       songs themselves come first," said Amendola. "It's a rare quality to find an       artist who's a real straight shooter and puts so much of her soul into her       lyrics, while keeping        everything simple and relatable.              After recording with producer Matty Amendola, he brought the full team on       board from his music incubator 825 Records and signed Kerchief to an artist       development and distribution deal. The first single "Milk & Honey" is slated       for a March 24th, 2015        release. Full-length album "Machines & Animals" following in the Spring, as       well as a Summer tour with dates to be announced.              www.KerchiefMusic.com              ###              CONTACT:       (p) 347-240-5417       (e) info@825Records.com       www.825Records.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
