ST CATHERINE’S CHILD: “Softly stunning, mesmerising country-tinged indie” Holler
Transatlantic singer-songwriter Ilana Zsigmond AKA St Catherine’s Child is one of the rising stars of the Indie-Folk/Americana scene. She was invited into the Recording Academy as one of their ‘Class of 2024”.
Having signed to TRO Essex Music and Shamus Records in New York in late 2024, her debut album is This Might Affect You. The album’s songs tell the deeply personal and chronological story of enduring and recovering from the illness and death of her father. The A side chronicles the time leading up to his death, and the B side explores the aftermath of his passing and how she processed it.
Zsigmond decided to reach out to others who also had recently experienced loss and ask them to collaborate, and as a result, 10 of the 12 songs on the album are co-written with other songwriters. The songs on the album defy traditional genre classification and range from gun ballad to sea shanty to punk and beyond. The album’s title, This Might Affect You, is a reference to a construction planning notice Zsigmond saw during her father’s illness that encapsulated everything she was experiencing and processing, and how it affected her and everyone around her.
This is a rare chance to see the album played in full by the full band. Not to be missed.
