Originally from Ohio, singer-songwriter Kate Tucker made her way to Seattle where she met the musicians who would later become her band of Swedes. She’s a balladeer considered by many in the Suzanne Vega, Neko Case and Tracy Chapman mold. I’d say these are flattering comparisons, considering her debut self titled album, has just been released; a confident collection of multi-textured and colorful rock based songs full of acoustically intimate, moodily atmospheric tracks.

For one of the standout tracks off of Shotter’s Nation, “You Talk”, the garage rock quartet [tag]Babyshambles[/tag] has decided to approach the video a bit simpler, much as the song itself for that matter. The video features Pete Doherty and company, strolling through weathering forests and dark, crowded rooms (seems a bit more then a poker party).
