NATALIE PRASS

She's no slouch in the pipes department the girl can sing. Although her debut EP is titled Small & Sweet, Prass brand of indie folk is not to be underestimated. While her delicate alto evokes clear benchmarks of influence see early Rilo Kiley, Feist, Karen Carpenter, etc. Prass never seems weighed down by the artists she's absorbed. Instead, she has developed a refreshing guitar-grounded musical vocabulary and a knack for infectious and entrancing tunes. Still, it's a spirit of invitation and friendship that continues to be Prass most pronounced attribute.
