Salt and Samovar, Phonograph, Mattison, Lykke LI October 30, 2007

While listening to Phonograph, one will notice the play on the traditional American sound that built the foundation of country and folk music in the 1950s.

Mattison is "part singer-songwriter, part fat beats, and part hotel-jazz-standard-hipster-piano-trio fronted by a sinfully delicious chanteuse-next-door with a voice straight outta the 1940s." The project is the brainchild of drummer Pete Sustarsic and songwriter/pianist Kate Mattison joined by bassist Jay Steinhauer to complete the curious sound.
