Theoretical Girl / Divided

Memphis Industries

Conjured into existence three years ago by Southend-on-Sea siren AMY TURNNIDGE, THEORETICAL GIRL, has been busy making waves and leaving a trail of swooning hearts in her wake. Her debut album, rcorded last autumn in North London with Grammy nominated remixer, producer and general sound-fiend ANDY CHATTERLEY, Divided’s twelve tales of unrequited love, mistakes and regrets are juxtaposed against twisting melodies and grooves. Amy professes to take inspiration from such diverse sources as ‘60s girl groups, Tom Waits, Billy Joel, Purcell and even the classic twee pop of Sarah Records, and her hands on approach is surely a testament to her DIY roots—when she’s not multi-tasking on bass, keys, guitar and vocals she’s arranging and scoring the strings. As further evidence to her song writing talent, the tracks sound equally as special when stripped down to just her sweet voice and acoustic guitar, as they do when performed live with her full backing band THE EQUATIONS.
