 | fROOTs Magazine - April 2013 Katie Rose is, quite simply, a superb singer and the inventiveness of these arrangements marks the maker of Empty Cup out as something much more than just a talented folkie tarting-up her trad repertoire with a few 'edgy' bleeps and beats. This is your actual English traditional soul music. - Stephen Hunt, fROOTS Magazine |
 | FATEA Magazine - April 2013 stunning vocal aerobatics could not in isolation be considered so
crucial an element in the success of any contemporary album of reworked
traditional song, and Katie's gorgeously urbanised take on tradition
relies equally as much - if not more - on keenly imaginative musical
arrangement for its impact. - David Kidman http://www.fatea-records.co.uk/magazine/KatieRose.html

 | Bright Young Folk - March 2013 With its relaxed and meditative feel, this is an album which will leave you feeling that the glass is in fact half full. - Lucy Houlden http://www.brightyoungfolk.com/gigs/empty-cup-katie-rose/record-detail.aspx

her take on Polly Vaughan, is intensely appealing, a swirl of sound with the
voice as icing, and her Quite Silent works superbly, ripping the song away from
its past. - Chris Nickson

 | fROOTs - Aug/Sept 2012 Pamela Wyn Shannon's Moss Mantra is a tour de force. whispering the mosses over dark backing, equalled by Katie Rose, who mingles three witches' songs and chants in different voices: Witches Reel - included on this issue's fRoots 40 Compilation - is a come-all-ye invitation to ancient wickedness. Ian Kearey, Review of Weirdlore. |
 | Terrascope, Reviews for June 2012 The strangest, most eccentric contribution to this exquisite and revelatory compilation, though, comes courtesy of Katie Rose's
"Witches Reel". Heck, no self-respecting weird/wyrd/alt etc collection
would be complete without referencing "the goddess" and as such Katie
gets to carry the team flag. It's spooky, it's odd, it is highly
singular and a resounding hit with this coven's jukebox jury. Ian Fraser, Review of 'Weirdlore' |

 | Folk & Roots Review of Echoes from the Mountain Very few tribute albums measure up to their subject in every respect, but Echoes From The Mountain is one such, without a doubt. ... As far as I'm concerned, the wyrder the better - and the disc's first offering, Starless And Bible Black's brilliantly managed psychedelic take on Hunt & Turner's Silver Lady is a stunner in anyone's book, with Jane Weaver's spectrally scratched, primordial account of Death (which I too first encountered on Sun Also Rises' eerie VT version) and Katie Rose's superbly delicate, precise intoning of Dave Evans' Grey Lady Morning both easily equalling that opening gambit. - David Kidman |

Review in fROOTs Oct/Nov 2010 Echoes from the Mountain - Various Artists - Rif Mountain Katie Rose pretty well scoops the jackpot with Dave Evans's Grey Lady Morning. The original is special, but Rose's stretched, wavering vocal over sparse tampuri drone is an eye (and ear) opener. - Ian Kearney

 | Review in SHINDIG Sept/Oct 2010 Five traditional tracks, interestingly arranged and lovingly rendered, come courtesy of FOL-DE-ROSE on her self-titled EP (Rose Window). The author of the project, Katie Rose, is interested in the folk song as performance, therapy and ritual and these aspects all come through on her EP, from the train sound effects on 'In The Pines' to the serenity of 'Barbra'. This is one for the more tranquil moments of summer. - Jeanette Leech - www.shindig-magazine.com |
| Review in
fROOTS Magazine Aug/Sept 2010
Limited-edition EP of Katie's folkie quest follows her wandersome (seemingly) wilfully arty excursion through some trad folk staples (and Heart Like a Wheel). Initial unfavourable impressions are dissipated on closer acquaintance, as subsequent plays reveal intelligence within the idiosyncrasies, and by the tangy, mesmeric finale Sweet Primroses you'll be totally hooked. www.frootsmag.com |
