Now, with her Blue Note album debut, she carries on a tradition perfected by the likes of Tom Waits, Amy Winehouse, and Janis Joplin, who turned their complicated lives into dark but beautiful poetry and music. Blood Siren perfectly captures Sarah’s haunted moan, a sound that both chills and touches the heart. Producers Chilly Gonzales and Renaud Letang create a stark midnight atmosphere with Sarah on piano and guitar, touches of cello and celesta, some electronic sounds, and plenty of silence, along with a voice that sounds just as it does when she’s alone in her room. Sarah McCoy was born in a New York outskirt. When she was a child, the family moved to the warmer climate of Charleston, South Carolina, where she had to face the deaths of both her father and grandmother, just a few days apart. Her salvation was a piano. Sarah studied classical music, then began writing songs that reflected her dark and somber state of mind. In her late teens, she says, “I discovered I could sing while trying to keep myself awake behind the wheel.” Teenage Sarah was an introverted oddball who dressed in black and warred constantly with her mother. Before turning twenty she hitchhiked to California. Armed with a guitar, she began busking in San Diego. During a stretch of couch-surfing and squatting in abandoned buildings, she proceeded to Monterey, where she settled for four years, did more busking on the streets; played piano in a bar “in exchange for quesadillas”; worked other survival jobs; and lived in vans. In 2013, French film director Bruno Moynie discovered her at the Spotted Cat Cluband enthusiastically not only shot a film documentary on her, but also arranged a concert tour of France. The success there initiated a French career for Sarah, who travelled back and forth from New Orleans to Paris on a regular basis from now on. In April 2017, Sarah opened in Paris for Jarvis Cocker and Chilly Gonzales who were launching their mutual Deutsche Grammophon album Room 29. Chilly Gonzales invited her to do a test recording the following afternoon with his producer friend, Renaud Letang (Feist, Manu Chao, Seu Jorge, Jane Birkin, Jamie Lidell). That October, Sarah moved to Paris. In February 2018, she, Gonzales, and Letang recorded Blood Siren, a captivating album full of striking details. On “Someday” and “Mamma’s Song,” Sarah’s playing takes on an eerie toy-piano sound that underlines the songs’ childlike despair. “The Death of a Blackbird,” a piano solo, is the sound of loneliness; it bespeaks her early classical training. “Devil’s Prospects” is a tale of New Orleans voodoo; it reeks of gin and dank, clammy night air. After many years of living on the edge, Sarah is on friendly terms now with the dark, intense persona that appears in the elegant artwork of Blood Siren. “I’d like to let people know that the monster in them exists in other people as well.” Artist Sarah McCoy Genre Rock And Pop Label Blue Note Buying Options 2LP Gatefold Sleeve Format 2LP , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings New Orleans Boogieman Hot Shot Pistol Whipped Someday Mamma's Song The Death Of A Blackbird I Miss Her Fearless Red Hot Ugly Dog Devil's Prospects Show's Over Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Curve Cuckoo Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 1st March 2024 £31.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Curve Cuckoo £31.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP3478C Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st March 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Andy Bell All On You EP Rock And Pop | Sonic Cathedral | 7", Coloured Vinyl Released 11th June 2021 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Andy Bell All On You EP £10.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sonic Cathedral SKU: SCR176 Formats: 7", Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jonathan Wilson Rare Birds (Indies Only) Rock And Pop | Bella Union | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 27th February 2018 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jonathan Wilson Rare Birds (Indies Only) £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bella Union SKU: BELLA730VX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Graham's picks View Product Quick View Jeanines Jeanines Rock And Pop | Slumberland Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 14th June 2019 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jeanines Jeanines £13.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Slumberland Records SKU: LPSLR240 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 14th June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mission, The Grains Of Sand Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 26th July 2017 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mission, The Grains Of Sand £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 5743070 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th July 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Carly Rae Jepsen The Loneliest Time Rock And Pop | Interscope | 1LP Released 21st October 2022 £26.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Carly Rae Jepsen The Loneliest Time £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Interscope SKU: 4818405 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 21st October 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Girls Father, Son, Holy Ghost Rock And Pop | Turnstile | 2LP Released 8th September 2011 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Girls Father, Son, Holy Ghost £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Turnstile SKU: FANTASY007LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 8th September 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tom Waits Heartattack and Vine Rock And Pop | Epitaph | 180g, 1LP Released 12th September 2018 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tom Waits Heartattack and Vine £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Epitaph SKU: 8714092757118 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 12th September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Peter Gabriel Peter Gabriel 2 (aka Scratch) Rock And Pop | Real World | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 29th November 2016 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Peter Gabriel Peter Gabriel 2 (aka Scratch) £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Real World SKU: PGLPR2 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 29th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Veruca Salt Eight Arms To Hold You Rock And Pop | Geffen | 1LP Released 12th May 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Veruca Salt Eight Arms To Hold You £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Geffen SKU: AGEF40301 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 12th May 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
