Discovery: Jessica Carter Altman

Jessica Carter Altman is a singer-songwriter and musician creating beautiful little folk-rock songs with a fantastic ambience.

By Jane Howkins

Blood Moon is a particular favourite of mine, starting out with some tribal drums and a repeated guitar melody that builds up to create an eerie atmosphere, suiting the title of the track well. Jessica’s vocals have a wide range, sounding low on the verses, yet raising up higher on the chorus. Her ‘woos’ in the background on the pre-chorus add a hidden beauty, alongside the swooping strings. This is a fascinating song and one you need to listen to now!
