Abigail Grey is a dream. I mean literally, Abigail Grey was a character in an eerily vivid dream that Claire Campbell then adopted as her performing persona. Campbell is a young Scottish lass whose music defies pigeon-holing. She changes her sound with the ease of a chameleon changing its color. On the whole, Campbell's music lies in a grey mist between Indie Pop and Indie Folk, but that explanation really doesn't account for her richness of texture and the inventiveness of her melodies. She's released two albums, neither of which is an easy find around this country. But you can listen to some of her music on Soundcloud. And there are videos on YouTube.
Abigail Grey is releasing a Christmas single on December 5, "Winter & Icicles". The tracks are produced by Chris Geddes (Belle & Sebastian) and Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Teenage Fanclub, Snow Patrol).
Now here's where your patience comes into play. Head to Abigail's web site--this page specifically--and join her mailing list. Then, on December 2, you'll receive your "Downloadable Gift Pack", complete with cover art. If you can't wait that long, then tough toenails. This is how it works. S'right? Not sure whether the single will remain free once its been officially released. So just go and do this and forget about it. Come December 2, you'll have a nice little surprise package waiting in your email.
