Nocturne 04:56
"...and I think I found myself in your dark eyes Cut through my fear and pour in some warm light My heart's been sellotaped for a lifetime Cut through my skin, I'll see through your eyesight"
2.
Exile 05:24
"The sun is flashing its wild fingertips The wind is whispering its sweet lullabies and I am dancing, singing, glowing in the dark ...dancing, singing, while I come to you"
3.
"But when the night comes Lights, shades and colours just look the same And all the things I cried for Are snowflakes that fade away When your soft, warm lips draw lines on me Locked eyes, locked arms, I can still feel Her life breathe inside me"
4.
"See the waves go by with my drunken tears See the rise and fall of my lonely fear The sky's piercing blue, Hurts me with its glow Take me to your eyes, back to things I know"
5.
"Walking down empty rooms in my mind You came drenched in this silken night Loneliness and black sweat in my mouth I suck blindly at your knots of delight Ice and Blood through me Ice and Blood through me...."
6.
Hollow 03:05
"My words have no lips My tears have no eyes A shadow of me still walks by your side Like ice in my veins Life shivers inside An echo of me Still calls you at night..."

Departure 02:55

about

“With its dreamlike harp arpeggios and wispy, discordant synth lines “Nocturne” takes no prisoners right from the get-go. Although supposedly a demo, the production is fresher and more original than 95% of the mundane nonsense churned out by “professional” studios and labels these days. The orchestration is expert yet sparse, the percussion startling yet understated, the vocal performances beautifully poised… Suffice it to say this is possibly the most assured debut recording I’ve heard by a UK artist since “The Wizard” by Bat For Lashes”
(Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music)

“This is a superb piece of music- the production is amazing. I just had it on repeat in my headphones for about 20 mins”
(Si Hulbert, producer: One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Sugababes, Lemar and many others – on “Departure a cappella”).

“The music of opiate fuelled dreams. Intricate, yet elegantly simple, the work of Double Thumb is inventive and utterly spellbinding… A taste of ‘Nocturne’ and I was hooked, lost in addiction”
(KK, composer and producer: Brian Eno, Bjork, Cat Stevens, KT Tunstall, Sting, Kylie, Britney, James Newton Howard, Medieval Baebes and many others)

"A true artist. What her writings inspire in me are are Celtic, Nordic, majestic granite and awesome deep blue water under dramatic skys and for a body of music to do that to someone is quite something"
(Steve Brown, producer: Elton John, George Michael, Freddie Mercury, The Cult, The Manic Street Preachers, The Pogues and many others)

"There’ll always be a space on FOTN for the weird and wonderful, and Doublethumb, a singer/songwriter/producer from London, is exactly that. Sharing parts of the same DNA with some of Tune-Yards’ boundary-pushing output, it may be hard to say ’Oonzeeluhzubazoomzum’, but listening to it is a constant joy"
(Tom Robinson and Fresh on the net team, BBC 6 Music"
