Nash's foundation made of 'Bricks'
Kate Nash’s mouth gets her into trouble.
The 20-year-old British newcomer admits she has a riding habit of speechmaking off the turnup. It’s sufficiency of a concern that Ogden Nash, world Health Organization makes her Bean Town debut at the Paradise on Monday, wrote a vocal called “Mariella” about a lady friend world Health Organization takes great pleasure in gluing her lips close.
“I love Mariella,” Nash said in the thick of an impromptu shopping excursion in Atlanta, multitasking with speech sound in one hand and a clothes hanger in the other. “And yes, she’s emphatically a rumination of me. The truth is that I’m so embarrassed by how annoyance I toilet be. I wish I was quieter, more mysterious. Everyone constantly knows precisely what I’m cerebration and tactile sensation because I can’t shut out up. Actually, I’m simply like a fry that way. Mariella launch a great solution to the job.”
Nash recollects that her inability to muffle herself light-emitting diode to problems with gal pals in heights school, and no doubt it can make things tricky when chatting with the weigh. Just as far as songwriting is concerned, oral presentation candidly serves her well on her debut CD, “Made of Bricks.”
Whether crooning amusing rhymes - “Darling River, don’t give me (curse), because I cognize you’re wax of it” - or asking in earnest - “Why you bein’ a (oath) for?” - she refuses to mince words. The plain-spoken nature of her songs is just as impinging as the cockney accent mark with which she delivers them.
“Some of it comes from punk stone, which I was listening to quite a scrap of when I started writing again,” said Ogden Nash, world Health Organization abandoned songwriting at eld 15 to go after theater at the famed Brit School, the alma mater of Amy Winehouse as well as UK up-and-comers Adele and Leona Meriwether Lewis. “I used to worry that I’m not enough of a poet to write songs. Just and so you listen to a ring like the Buzzcocks and it’s entirely right out there on the table. The old punk is distillery relevant. It still sounds good to me and it opened me up.”
Nash penned the majority of tunes on “Made of Bricks” - a acknowledgment to her strong support network of family and friends - using an electric automobile guitar and amp her folks bought her out of understanding when she was laid up in bed with a broken foot.
“The songs on the CD come from a mix in of my have experiences and other people’s,” said Ogden Nash, world Health Organization admits her romantic endeavors let been quite limited, though she writes around work force with the exasperation of person who’s been around the choke up multiple times.
“To some extent I feel like you receive to write virtually what you know in order for it to be genuine,” she said. “Only I mixed in songs around other people’s situations so the record album wouldn’t seem actually self-indulgent. I wanted it to be open to more than just one person’s position.”
One thing Nash has cipher tolerance for and little to state near ar the endless comparisons she’s garnered to much-hyped confrere Britt sass-monger Lily Woody Allen. Ironically, Ethan Allen helped launch Ogden Nash when she included the then-unknown in her MySpace [site] top eight. As a answer, Nash gave Gracie a thank you in her album’s lining notes.
Simply that was then.
“I render not to think around that any longer,” Ogden Nash said huffily. “It was infuriating at first, simply that was earlier my album came out. I feel like it’s easier now for people to see to it that we’re altogether different. The music speaks for itself.”
And if it didn’t, she’d sure find something to say on its behalf.
Kate Nash, with the Trachtenburg Family unit Slideshow Players, at the Nirvana, Monday. Tickets: $20; 617-562-8800.
