“ANNABEL LEE switches between punk rock fury and delicate singer-songwriter introspective beauty in a blink. It’s the dynamism of the songs, the unpredictability, that makes Lee’s set such an undiluted thrill. The twists and turns keep coming, and one gets the sense that anything could happen…There are a lot of artists out there under the alt-pop umbrella, and many of them are excellent. But there are levels, and Annabel Lee has the potential to be near the very top.” -Music Connection Magazine
Gretchen Klempa' Human Nature EP (out August 22nd) is a body of work that explores heavy themes of shame, anxiety, healing the body and mind, and interpersonal relationships, while presenting the stories in a whimsical and playful manner. Klempa invites the listener into her mind with autobiographical, honest, and vulnerable lyrics. Originally from New England, Gretchen Klempa merges the songwriting traditions of folk and pop sensibilities with classic jazz harmonies. Klempa brings a classic yet distinct vocal timbre accompanied by modern synth and piano sounds.
