February 2009 - Beachdown Festival
"Pippa Drysdale has been confirmed to play Beachdown Festival with the likes of the Zutons , Super Furry Animals and Saint Etiene on Sunday 30th August. The fast emerging Australian singer songwriter whose album 'Fire in the Snow" on her own label Glowbug Records was met with critical appraise when she released a limited edition of it in Australia late last year. A full release is now planned to tie in around a select number of key festival appearances later this summer in both the UK and Europe"...YAY!
February 1st 2009 - The New Roxette
I sent The New Roxette a pre-release copy of my upcoming album and here's what they had to say:
"Pippa Drysdale continues the singer/songwriter tradition with some aplomb.
Fire In The Snow is beautifully played and tastefully arranged with excellent production and musicianship by Michael Carpenter and Matt Fell.
Exotic and ancient keyboards such as the Mellotron, Chamberlain and Marxphone, rarely used since “Farewell Aldebaran” or the odd Sparklehorse song, are featured and lend a touch of mystery to some of the delicate folky ballads. Paper Aeroplane benefits from strange whispered background effects while Fade Away and Stupid Angel are nicely understated folk/rock in the style of Suzanne Vega’s work with Mitchell Froom. Lassoo has a feel of one of those Triffids songs propelled by keyboards, carrying impressions of the huge spaces between Perth and the rest of the world.
Whatever influences pervade, however, Pippa has her own voice and identity and her music is well worth checking out."
December 1st 2008 - Radio Play in UK and Australia.
RTRfm has been playing 'Horoscope' on their Rockin Roots show and 'Stupid Angel' on their Homegrown show....and Radio Basingstoke over here in the UK has been playing 'Paper Aeroplane'...
September 19th 2008 - Sydney Morning Herald review...
The Sydney Morning Herald reviewed "Fire in the Snow" today, this is what they had to say:
"This Australian singer-songwriter can be wincingly honest in her sweet folk-pop songs and her open-hearted lyrical sentiments might strike a chord with anyone who's checked the horoscopes of their partner or ex-partner as well as their own, for example. Such guileless insights are part of her charm, though, as are her warm-throated vocals and the astute self-awareness of Kinda Guy."
