Katie Spencer has drawn widespread plaudits for her intrinsic guitar playing and moody atmospheric song delivery style. Comparisons to John Martin have been forthcoming and it was of no surprise to see his work re-imagined in this latest offering from the East Yorkshire based artist.
HURT IN YOUR HEART is a short three track EP where Spencer has teamed up with two old timer Martyn accomplices in bass player Alan Thomson and keyboardist Spencer Cozens. These two additional pieces have added oxygen to Spencer's work as she tackles 'Hurt in Your Heart', 'Couldn't Love You More' and 'Small Hours'. The result of this outing is representative of her pristine talents and should really lead you onto her earlier records - the lead off EP GOOD MORNING SKY from 2017 and 2019's debut album WEATHER BEATEN.
Having loved these two release and seeing her play live twice in Coventry and Beardy Folk Festival, the work of Katie Spencer cannot be highly recommended enough. HURT IN YOUR HEART is another addition to her growing armoury and one that strengthens her appeal as a huge talent set to go very far in the acoustic folk and roots scene.
