Dreams Of Breathing Underwater

"The one indisputable young star of British folk."
- The Times

Simply describing herself as a 'modern British musician', Eliza Carthy is actually one of the most dazzling and recognized folk musicians of a generation. She has revitalized and made traditional music relevant to new audiences, capturing them with intelligent and charismatic performances as a solo performer, leading her own band and with Waterson / Carthy, her partnership with her parents Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson. Her association with traditional folk, however, has not dimmed her love for making music of all sorts and informs the narrative of her own compositions.

Now, the striking new CD of her own compositions, 'Dreams of Breathing Underwater', will confirm her reputation as a gifted musical conceptualist and composer. An album of changing moods and musical settings, with a chamber orchestra, grunge guitar, Mariachi horns and jazz band as well as traditional flourishes, 'Dreams of Breathing Underwater' will leave you breathless.

Packaged in a truly sumptuous 3-fold digipack, with 16-page color booklet, the album also includes full lyrics.
