About New Worlds
"Really rather excellent third LP from ex-Ash girl **** (4 stars)"- Uncut (UK)
"Charlotte Hatherley is setting the creative agenda for British female artists **** (4stars)"
- The Skinny (UK)
"She's created one of the finest British alt-pop records of the year"
- The Music Magazine (UK)
For all the lip service paid to spontaneity in rock music, it's a quality that manifests all too rarely in contemporary rock, indie or otherwise. At some point, the image of the tortured genius pulling out hair over murky mixing-board wizardry dug into the public's consciousness and became part of the rock 'n' roll myth, but if we think about it, we eventually realize that no matter what digital wonders the new year brings us, some part of us will always hunger for raw clarity and simplicity in our music. Look no further than Charlotte Hatherley,
New Worlds is about "stripping away layers and trying to get to the heart of things". With this inspiration in mind, Charlotte Hatherley recorded New Worlds in one frenzied week in London - no demos, no overdubs and no time to spare. In her own words: "I wanted to get away from the elaborate and laborious studio record... I wanted something that would hit you in the face straight away". With her back to the wall, Charlotte created an album that finds revolutionary truth in colors, art and scenes of emotional honesty, and she channeled her jaw-dropping guitar chops into a visceral work that reverberates through the primal parts of your synapses.
After touring with U.K. Rockers Ash since age 17 and departing for a solo career in 2005, New Worlds marks the point where Charlotte Hatherley truly comes into her own as an artist. "The full lyrics to 'New Worlds' include 'we can make, such bright such great, new worlds' and that's exactly what I want to do through my music, create amazing, bright and inspiring New Worlds." She has succeeded.
Watch for Charlotte Hatherley to tour the U.S. soon, (you may have already caught her playing guitar for Bat For Lashes over the summer). Natasha Khan is only one of Charlotte's more recent converts - Andy Partridge of XTC and David Bowie have already given her glowing reviews.

“Wow, the dreaminess of The Shins with the wacky poetic retro-ness of Robyn Hitchcock. This is awesome. I can't stop listening to it!”

“I always thought she had the potential to do better than Ash axegirl, and that's it. I liked her previous solo album, and I like this song a lot, with its sort of new wave feel (but the verse sounds to me like an old guitar-pumped Cardigans' tune). Moreover, she did her first solo album here in Italy at beautiful friends of mine's recording facility. Beautiful.”

“I love songs like this--smooth and mellow, like a cool drink whose ice cubes have long-melted and left it perfectly balanced for flowing down the throat--but it's a drink for the ears instead of the mouth and throat. The lyrics have actual effort put into them--this is a song to listen to and appreciate, not to just play in the background when you want something going while you focus on something else.”

“Interesting! Has sort of an indie-goth feel to it. Love it!”

“Straight Lines has a flavor of mid 80s Bowie, a la Low and Scary Monsters. The slightly skewed guitars give it a eerie quality. I love this song. The chorus has a great hook. I think this is going to be an underground fave. Hatherley's voice has an honest quality, straight and strong; similar to Poe.

“This is a very quirky song...the lyrics are not as shallow as some other songs, so for that we're grateful... :P
The harmonies are addicting, and the more you listen to them, the more you are swept away by the intricate twists this talented composer decides to throw in....”
