Ruth Theodore

A songwriter like no other. With words as dangerous as her guitar playing, Ruth Theodore reminds us why songwriting is important in the first place. Refreshingly original and relentlessly imaginative.

"Songs so quirky and unexpected that it's impossible to imagine anyone else performing them, following none of the more conventional styles of song-writing. And it actually works." - The Guardian ★★★★

"Breathless vocals, angular, cryptic, and engaging. Beneath the self-conscious eccentricity there's a serious musician." - The Observer on Sunday

"Her tales of broken and strange people can send shivers up the spine." - Q Magazine ★★★

"This is story telling at it's neatest, but messy in design and complicated in spectre. Ruth Theodore pushes boundaries, tests the audience and the ability of music, instruments and words to be more than just a song. This album is evidence of true, distinct talent." - Maverick ★★★★★

"Ani DiFranco and Martha Wainwright are the closest analogues - yet she's more playful and dangerous than either." - Uncut ★★★
