A really delightful album is heading your way from Mary Lorson & The Soubrettes. It’s called BurnBabyBurn' (no relation to the Ash song) Mary Lorson who handles vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion (phew!) began her career twenty years ago as the lead singer of the noisepop band Madder Rose., was it really that long ago???

The songs on BurbbabyBurn are just lovely. Lorson has added standup bass and subtle banjo provided by Ameila Sauter and Leah Houghtallng. Described as  a “sort of a hybrid theatre piece/indie rock record” the songs on BurnBabyBurn are just lovely, Lorson has added standup bass and subtle banjo provided by Amelia Sauter  and Leah Houghtaling.

Opener ‘Busboy’ has gentle piano and you can hear the’ theatre’ element when the piano is involved. Mary’s voice is pure velvet. Guitar drive ‘Manclub’ and that velvet voice expands even further on ‘Lately’ ‘River has (we love) a banjo and an Americana rhythm. So as you can see the album is very varied in style. It’s a long way from Madder Rose as you would expect. BurnBabyBurn’s eleven songs just drift by. A record for the car, a lazy Sunday morning or just to lift your sprits. Sit back, shut your eyes and listen to 'Only One Number 2' you won't regret it!
