Polly Scattergood releases her eponymous debut album this week. Already garnering critical attention for her debut single Nitrogen Pink, Polly Scattergood looks set to be a bright new star in 2009.
Born and raised just outside of Colchester, Polly began concocting her bittersweet brew 10 years ago when she found a guitar under the stairs in her parent's house. Built around fractious yet pretty guitar and piano (she plays Stylophone and accordion, too), Polly Scattergood's peculiar talent conjures up a looking glass world where nothing is quite how it first appears to be.

More creative than a person has a right to be, Polly writes brilliantly unsettling odd pop and will soon unveil a live show that is as arresting and powerful as her recordings, expect more revelations from this extraordinary young artist.
Produced by Simon Fisher Turner and featuring the recent single, Other Too Endless, Polly Scattergood is released on Mute today (9th March 2009).
press quotes
"If 2009 is to be the year when arty pop princesses rule, then
22-year-old Essex girl Scattergood should stand proud amongst them." - Q
"Dazzling... one of the year's most compelling debuts, brimful of vivid
confessional lyrics and wild flights of musical fancy." - The Sun
"She has set a high-water mark for herself with this debut that she can and surely will surpass. The mind boggles - in a great way - as to exactly what she'll be up to in 10 years time." - NME - 8/10
"This debut is a slow burning treasure. She shines on the arty piano-pop of Please Don't Touch and I Hate The Way. Could well feature on this years Mercury Prize shortlist." - Daily Mail - ****
"Bunny Club rides a deep-house pulse towards a captivating finale redolent of Soft Cell's low-life synth-pop, and Nitrogen Pink is magnificent: a rocket-powered fantasy alliance between Kate Bush and Neu!" - The Guardian
"Dark and disturbing magic. Singing in a trembling voice, here Kate Bush and Tori Amos are obvious reference points. Her subject matter is more fractious than either, but she's also capable of ethereal, uplifting pop symphonies of extraordinary beauty such as Unforgiving Arms and Nitrogen Pink." - Uncut
