Q Magazine Gives Four Stars to Jenee Halstead's Raised by Wolves

 

SPOKANE, Wash. (Sep. 11, 2012)--The UK's widely-read Q Magazine has given the powerfully voiced Jenee Halstead's latest release, Raised by Wolves not only a four star rating, but some brilliant praise and a comparison to one of their own beloved musical forces: PJ Harvey.

"The voice of Spokane, Washington's Jenee Halstead is devilish in a different way, free spirited and animalistic in exactly the way suggested by the title of her second album, Raised By Wolves (* * * *, Continental Song City). Piano and ukulele, banjo and beatbox replace the guitar of her debut, the arrangements stripped to their carrion core by emotional scavengers such as the obsessive narrator of standout track Building You An Altar. It's like PJ Harvey at her menacing and terrifying best."

Raised by Wolves is available now on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/jenee-halstead/id274732390#

Praise for Jenee Halstead
     
"If her debut was a floral-print sundress, its follow-up is a black leather jacket ripped at the sleeves."     -The Boston Globe - James Reed        

"This eastern Washington transplant was my discovery of the year. Jenee (pronounced like "Renee") has a honey-throated voice and the storytelling ability of a soul well beyond her years."    -The Eagle Times - Michael Witthaus           

"Halstead's singing packs the emotional punch of Emmylou Harris and will keep you hooked."    -UK Sunday Times - Mark Edwards        

"Armed with vocals that revel in stories, and a spirit that lifts each track into three dimensions, this American folk singer-songwriter is a joy to listen to."     
-Maverick Magazine - Laura Bethel         

"The amazing power of an arresting voice and simple instrumentation knows no limits. Throughout the annals of music history there is a laundry list of inspired, folk-poets who seem to have an inherent and incurable ability to weave spirited stories through just a voice, an acoustic guitar and deft instrumentation. Boston-based singer/songwriter Jenee Halstead has that aura of legacy on her debut record The River Grace."
-AbsolutePunk.net - Gregory Robson        

"Jenee Halstead's voice has a country/folk cutting edge that slices into you the moment you hear it."   -Acoustic Live - Richard Cuccaro     

"Clear, cool, smooth and full-bodied. This isn't a description of wine, but rather of Jenee Halstead's voice."  -PerformerMag - Priyanka Boghani
