Tica Douglas is Chillingly ‘dark and Dreary’ [premiere]

Brooklyn solo artist Tica Douglas is about to release one of the most earnest and solemn records of the year with Summer Valentine, out  on May 28.  Like fellow Mainer Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, Douglas approaches songwriting with honesty, stunning banjo-infused instrumentation, and lyrics that could rip your heart to shreds. With the perfect dose of belting and falsetto swoons, she finds a balance between new folk and even old-time cinematic Western in “Dark and Dreary”. Download the track for free above and look out for tour dates, including her album release show at Cameo Gallery on May 28, below.
