Katie Lindsay is an obsessive songwriter, spitting out songs that defy definition for the last ten years. A keyboardist by trade, a grungy self-taught guitarist at home, engineer of brooding synths and keeper of a uniquely soaring voice, Lindsay is one of Glasgow’s busiest musicians. Her songs are outrageously intimate, pure poetry set to dazzling musical backdrops, with strikingly vulnerable vocals, haunting finger-picked guitar and wistful piano. With cryptic lyricism like that of songwriters Jeff Buckley and Adrianne Lenker, Lindsay’s music is feeling-first, heart on her sleeve and in your face. Her shimmering instrumentals take inspiration from the surreal romance of shoegaze, with mysterious lyrical vignettes which invite listeners to use their imagination and seek catharsis.
