Pippa Blundell

Drawing influence from the storytelling lineage of folk music, whilst also bringing in ambient sounds and classical vocal influences, Pippa’s music draws inspiration from the likes of Anna B Savage, Laura Marling, This Is The Kit and The Weather Station.

Emily Pilbeam (BBC Radio 6) - ‘When I listened to this I thought it was breathtaking. It was one when I was listening to it I was just a bit open mouthed. I think her voice is just really, really special and commands your attention’

MK Bennett (Louder than War Magazine) - ‘Imagine a game in which you had to review an album in ten words or less for some arbitrary reason: aliens were landing, or various world leaders had lost their tiny minds, and we were limited to online daily word usage. The review for Common Thread would read “ Sits between Joni Mitchell and Jeff Buckley. Exhilarating and astonishing.” You could take out the surnames to be extra succinct if necessary’

Tallah Brash (The Skinny) - ‘Blundell’s first album is a journal of tender lyricism’

Poppy Ham (God is in the TV magazine) - Common Thread does not necessarily re-invent the folk soundscape, but it has no need to, as it embraces a whole host of influence from places and people, melting them together in a heart aching and heartfelt album
