about

Passion Play is a sensuous ten song musing upon the highs and lows of life : namely love, death, drugs, alcohol, sex, ambition and highwaymen. Katy conjures a magical world of cruising sexual predators, interstellar relationships, religious junkies and erotic vampires.
Style wise Passion Play retains he alt-folk mood of debut album ‘Screwing Lies’ whilst introducing electronic elements due to Katy’s growing interest in the dance scene. The work of 4- Hero, A Guy Called Gerald and Micatone (Sonar Kollektiv) have been particularly inspirational.
Outstanding tracks include the Kruder & Dorfmeister influenced ‘Paper Castle’ featuring Olly Parfitt of The Herbaliser, performance poet John Hegley as the infamous highwayman on ‘Turpin’ and ‘Sharkesville’ with Calina De La Mare violinist with the Tindersticks. brass, double bass, cello and violin add depth and light to arrangements. The moog brings a touch of Jean-Jaques perry retro feel to the dance-floor friendly Borderline.
Passion Play is peoples with a menagerie of hot-headed, cold-blooded and starry-eyed characters obsessed with fulfillinf their desires. Not unlike the real world, but with a touch more magic. Katy Carr is committed to bringing trills and folk thrills to the 21st century.

‘Definitely one for the Mercury Music Prize to consider’ SUNDAY TIMES
‘Second album from English dance-folk prodigy’ **** UNCUT
‘This is singery-songwritery fare with a difference. Carr writes ribald songs about sex’n’drugs’n’rock’n’roll… but it’s the screwy leftfield arrangements that really grab you’ ****MOJO

lyrics

Riddle Woman
Vs 1
She’s got these feelings and you don’t know
Think Mary bull is made of stone
She’s got this coat she’s five foot tall
Beware she’s coming down the road…
Chorus
They say
Watch out for the Reddle woman she’s coming faster
Watch out for the Reddle Woman with evil laughter
Vs 2
She take take takes the horse down the road
ionised by her side
She’s red and she sure is a devil inside
Arrives in town they all come running out to see
the iron lady have a nice cup of tea
She don’t care she needs some water here and if they say no
She’ll cast a spell upon their daughters
‘Av eed seen enough watch your eyes don’t fall off’
They say
Watch out for the Reddle woman she’s coming faster
Watch out for the Reddle Woman with evil laughter
Dorset, my Dorset I feel I am over the moon
I feel I am over the moon
What do I see a little silhouette a looking at me?
Oh I am over the moon
