Jessica Lea Mayfield’s "Make My Head Sing…" out today on ATO
JESSICA LEA MAYFIELD’S MAKE MY HEAD SING… OUT NOW ON ATO RECORDS
ALBUM RECEIVES WIDESPREAD ACCLAIM
NATIONWIDE TOUR CONFIRMED
“Mayfield’s echo-laden bluegrass vocals mesh with scorching electric guitar lines to render remarkable results…”—Rolling Stone
“...they put a feedback-edged grunge power trio at the core of the songs: the sound of trouble, obsession, foreboding, decadence. But Ms. Mayfield doesn’t rasp like a flannel-shirted rocker; her voice stays clear…”—The New York Times
“It’s one of the best albums of the year so far,”—Garden & Gun
“Mayfield sounds like she’s finally arrived.”—Interview Magazine
“…matches a grunge-era deadpan with gnarly leftfield roots music in service of haunting, smoldering rock ’n’ roll.”—Stereogum
“…a darker, raw rock sound…”—Noisey
“…it sounds like she’s been listening to a good deal of sludge metal, with raw, thick riffage that’s up there with many of the more likely Sabbath worshippers. Her voice remains gentle though, making for a pretty interesting mix.”—Brooklyn Vegan
Jessica Lea Mayfield’s highly anticipated new album Make My Head Sing… is out today on ATO Records (iTunes). Released to widespread critical acclaim, the new album was co-produced by Mayfield and her collaborator, bassist and husband Jesse Newport and was recorded at Nashville’s Club Roar studio. In advance of the release, the official music video for “I Wanna Love You” recently premiered at Noisey and can now be viewed/embedded here.
Mayfield will embark on a nationwide U.S. tour this spring, including dates at New York’s Mercury Lounge, Cleveland’s Beachland Ballroom and L.A.’s Roxy Theatre. See below for complete details.
Make My Head Sing… follows Mayfield’s 2011 release, Tell Me, which was produced by The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach and was described by Rolling Stone, which named her an Artist to Watch, as “a disarming collision of stark country balladry, dynamic alternative rock and arty electronic pop.” Additionally, the Associated Press asserted, “Tell Me is the portrait of a precocious girl growing into self-assured womanhood and a producer reaching the peak of his powers. It is a dark and moody album, full of delights throughout, and if it doesn’t make Mayfield a star, that too will be heartbreaking,” while Spin Magazine included Mayfield in their “The Next Big Things: 11 Artists You Must Hear in 2011” feature, calling her a “smart-ass country-rock ingénue.” She also made her network television debut on the “Late Show with David Letterman,” performing the album’s first single, “Our Hearts Are Wrong,” which NPR Music praised as “…genuinely moving” (http://tinyurl.com/4fn93o6).
