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

SNAKEKISS
Love is a mystery
A snakes kiss is so sexy and sweet let me bite your neck my love and draw blood.
Vs1
Please take this wish of mine and kiss my lips
we’ll make a pledge in 50 years time
Lets change the ways and the days of songs that rhyme,
songs that chime
Love is a mystery
I cannot remember when you were mine
You said you were always there in time
Can I see through it?
A snakes kiss is so sexy and sweet
let me bite your neck my love and draw blood.
Scream halleluya
Vs 2
Please play the Romeo
two pools of blood commemorate our final lullabies
Lets praise love’s sweet haze in songs that rhyme,
songs that chime
Love is a mystery
I cannot remember when you were mine
You said you were always there in time
Can I see through it?
Scream Halleluya
Halleluya the bloody red rose sings/ screams
[I can now remember when you were mine you said you’d be there till the end of time Can I live through it?]
