Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Sarabeth Tucek has been added to the bill of End Of The Road Festival in September and also Oxfordshire’s Wood Festival next month. Also, in addition to previously announced dates at Camden Crawl and around the UK with The Leisure Society, she will now play a headline show at The Slaughtered Lamb in London on May 19.

Sarabeth’s new album ‘Get Well Soon‘ is released next week, April 11. It will be Rough Trade Shops’ album of the week.

Here are some of the nice things people have said about it:

“A starkly beautiful record that mines the sound of the last four decades of Americana” Q (****)

“A set of songs that are often as disquietingly spare as they are beautiful” Uncut (****)

“Somewhere in the triangle created by Nico, Beth Gibbons and Joni Mitchell” Loud & Quiet (8/10)

“There’s something really quite splendid about ‘Get Well Soon’. It could well prove to be a timeless little wonder” BBC Music

“If you’re not left in a mournful daze, tears blistering your eyes… then surely you can’t be human” The Line Of Best Fit

A single from the album, ‘State I Am In’, is released on May 2. The video is here: http://bit.ly/fyrIJ8
