SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: JESSICA PRATT – HERE IN THE PITCH

JESSICA PRATT
HERE IN THE PITCH
MEXICAN SUMMER

Those familiar with Jessica Pratt  might be mainly accustomed to her excellent songwriting usually based on her no less incredible vocals and acoustic guitar.

Her songwriting was always that good that it could be se in any musical setting or genre and show Pratt’s full potential.

In many ways, that is exactly the rout Pratt has taken on Here in the Pitch, abandoning any care whether her songs suit any specific genre as such, but with full knowledge of what she is doing, wandering everywhere, from subtle jazz and bossa nova, to seventies Laurel Canyon sound and elsewhere, wherever she saw her songs fitting in, and they all fit in like a perfect glove.

Pratt often couples it all with some quite dark words, starting from the album title itself with pitch referring  to both pitch darkness and bitumen, the black viscous substance that forms deep below the surface of the earth.

And it all sounds and plays oh so well.
