Cara Beth Satalino

A bold, stripped-back, ten-song distillation of identity.

As “Warmth of A Golden Sun” opens Little Green with what feels like a folk-rock dirge over Casio drum machine beats- Cara Beth offers a sonic analogy about her move from weird city life into warm analog intimacy. “Dandelion Weed” plants the listener firmly into her ecosystem of pedal steel and close-microphoned acoustic guitar, but with succinct rock drumming that gives the song’s spaciousness a sturdy foundation. Though the influences of Fairport Convention, James Taylor and Sandy Denny are all opaquely present throughout the record, surprising twists like the Velvet Underground electricity of “Little Green” and the classic 70s country shuffle on “Time”, broaden the scope out of upstate New York into the eclectic artist she has become.Sitting above this spacious sonic palette is the obvious allure of Little Green- Cara Beth’s voice.
