Product Description

Daily Record.

"We may have KT Tunstall, Amy MacDonald and Sandi Thom, but there is definitely room for another Scots singer of this class."


CD Description

Dirty Birds is the debut album from Scottish singer-songwriter Kat Flint, born in Barbados and raised by two scientists in the rural microcosm of North-East Scotland, where international oil wealth meets stormy farmland and 5000 year-old stone circles. Part folk, part pop, part something else entirely, the recording of Dirty Birds was entirely fan-funded (through necessity, after label funding fell through). Kat raised several thousand pounds through her internet fanbase, gig audiences, mailing list and word of mouth before a single note had been committed to tape. The dirty birds of the title manifest themselves in many forms pigeons and prostitutes, black crows and bomber jets... There are celebrations and requiems, reprimands, to-do lists and laments for little brothers marching off to war. The release of Dirty Birds comes hot on the heels of two independently released singles Go Faster Stripes and Christopher, You re A Soldier Now which have already won over many new fans including Steve Lamacq, who singled out Kat as the featured artist on his weekly Radio 2 show, and DJ s at BBC 6music, XFM Scotland and countless regional stations. Engineered and produced by fellow folkster/US producer David Peters (former protégé of Dave Fridmann) the album features contributions from the Guardian s "best band you ve never heard of" Revere, 6Music favourites It Hugs Back and KCRW-approved folk-noir songstress Jess Bryant, amongst others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kat Flint, 30 Aug 2008
By Daniel Hussey "Huz" (Colley Gate) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am one of the fortunate few that took the opportunity to stump up some cash to help with the recording costs of this CD and, as a result, have had a copy for quite a few months now. It still gets played on regular basis and I continue to discover new qualities in many of the songs. Buy a copy and you'll be left wondering why this woman isn't already a regular on national radio and TV.

I do own it - and it has some lovely tracks on it. Dirty Birds in particular brought tears to my eyes. Interesting arrangements too!
