Kathleen Haskard

DON'T TELL is a prowling/pounding melange of delicately carnal, driven, in the moment songs, carved from the inside looking out and delivered from the outside glaring straight into your eyeballs



Kathleen's lyrics have deep connections with the latent sexual and emotional paradoxes all around us. She is blessed with the lateral insight to pluck the beauty out of the brackish backwash. Relationship dynamics are turned inside out, meanings spun on their head, political warlord threads teased, de-lacqered and laid out naked in the street. Pregnant silences are decoded and given resonance.



Roaring, yet fragile, strong, and with feeling, Kathleen's bag is 4 dimensional, chameleon-like, politiscised and leaves no carbon footprint.

"Kathleen Haskard gives lyrics to the echo chambers of the heart's bistro. As good a groove as you get"
CHARLES PLYMELL



"differently beautiful, her voice, phrasing & song structure dangle between the Americana of Lucinda Williams and the punkrock of Patti Smith. Don't Tell is a successful roots album with a hard, sound messagea plate which everyone must have in their cupboard"
ROOTSTIME Dutch/Belgian Webzine (May '08)



"a superb release, a little different from the norm and has an alternative edge"
MAVERICK



"smart and aware songwriter, both politically and emotionally. The album Dont Tell a record of rare quality"
BUCKETFULL OF BRAINS



"Prophet and Alpin have woken the guilty preacher, smoked his last cigarette and served him up a condemned mans breakfast whilst Kathleens songs challenge his congregation"
THE BRINK



"sinner, songwriter and expatriate"
CHUCK PROPHET



"these two men have produced an album of casual brilliance, letting the songs rise in the swirling swell of 21st century uncertainty"
BEAT-TRACKER



"an edgy alt-type restlessness and sense of subliminal tension. I'm going to ignore the title and tell everyone about Kathleen's new album!"
NET RHYTHMS
