Scottish neo-folk songwriter Rachel Sermanni just keeps getting better and better. New single "Eggshells" arrives on the heels of her January Black Currents EP, a song that won't diminish the Laura Marling comparisons but certainly puts the 19-year-old songwriter in a position of carving out her own acoustic persona. As we noted in our earlier post, "Sermanni finds that sweet spot between refreshingly unadorned directness and artful ornamentation, quiet laments and soaring orchestration all centered around a darting sand-textured voice that moves from tumbling lyricism to moments of serene, sweeping grandeur..." "Eggshells", true to it's title, is a more delicate affair than her more experimental Black Currents jam, a sweetly serene, chamber-folk melody carried lightly by Sermanni's cool, breathy vocals. No word on a U.S. signing, but the new single is available digitally this week.
