Download: Kit Richardson - All Heart No Brains

Words: Saam Das


I always keep an eye out for upcoming releases on the Cool 4 Cats Label, who have been putting out a series of downloads for a while now - we wrote about their release of 'Sleepwalker' by Mercy back in January 2012. Their latest artist is London-based experimental piano popstar Kit Richardson, with the hyperactive 'All Heart No Brains'.

It's difficult not to get caught up in the vibrancy of 'All Heart No Brains' - Richardson's soaring vocals and infectious melodies take the listener on a bit of a whirlwind journey, whizzing through the multi-layered instrumentation. There's a touch of Joanna Newsom to Richardson's music, offering a quiet sense of awe. Find out whether that translates into the live arena at her "single" launch tonight at Servant Jazz Quarters in London.
