FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kara Suzanne Releases "Parlor Walls" at Joe's Pub, NYC January 26, 9:30pm

New York, NY (January 8, 2009) – Kara Suzanne’s latest CD, “Parlor Walls” will be released January 26 at 9:30pm at Joe's Pub, 425 Lafayette Street, NY, NY. Brooklyn’s Americana songstress embodies the essence of Dolly and Emmylou with a dash of modern-day Lucinda combining blues, country and roots rock. "Parlor Walls" was produced and engineered by Bryan Pugh, and recorded at Dreamland Recording Studio, the 19th century old former St. John's Catholic church nestled in the upper Hudson River Valley near Woodstock playing host to such artists as 10,000 Maniacs, Herbie Hancock, Buckwheat Zydeco and Joan Jett.

Esteemed in such NY venues as The Mercury Lounge, The Studio at Webster Hall, Irving Plaza, and Gramercy Theater, Kara Suzanne has kindled both film and music festivals from Sundance to SXSW. Continuously on the rise, her debut album with her backing band the Gojos, "Aumsville", topped the Independent Music Awards' Best Album of the Year in 2006 and Paste Magazine’s Recommended Album, June 2008.

"I was never one for watching parlor's walls," one of the key lyrics of the title song is also an idea taken from Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451," which inspired Kara's curious vision of a future with a humanity far removed from itself. "I wrote Parlor Walls with the intention of naming the things I've used to distract myself from being in the present… Each song on the album is based on one of these things. Fear, infatuation, obsession, desperation, nostalgia, lust...." – Kara Suzanne

Despite the inevitable financial endeavors in releasing an album in today’s D.I.Y times, “Parlor Walls” was eagerly executed through a communal effort of friends pre-purchasing the record and donating to the project. "Parlor Walls" is now open and ready for release.

"Part sullen cowgirl, part seductive cabaret singer and all soulful folk-rock songstress... " – Jack Douglas (producer, engineer for John Lennon, Aerosmith, New York Dolls)

"Kara Suzanne's voice is a cross between Aimee Mann's velvet texture and Fiona Apple's soul, with hints of Dolly Parton's country vibrato." – Joel Silverstein, Inquirer & Mirror
