The return of Kate Jackson to the indie rock world has been highly anticipated for a number of years now. Teases like untraceable demos appearing under the name “Madame Ray” on last.fm, appearing with the wolfmen and the odd tweet under the same name did give cause for hope.
However there has been much activity lately under the title “Kate Jackson Group” with her return to live music, the release of demos on her soundcloud and myspace and ultimately- her first single. Date with Dawn is available for free here, but only for the first 1000 visitors so get in there now.
The new tracks are where Kate seemed to feel more at home with the hugely missed Long Blondes, the full figured and 50′s homaging of “Couples” is nearer to this than the cream of “Someone to drive you home”. Enjoy.
