Notes

From the Spacejunk Media Release:

Self cited as "torch songs with extra kero!" this debut album for singer songwriter Sara Mitchel titled The Grey Room is being spoken about not only around the "rainbow cafes" of Australia but at dinner parties throughout the world and the kero is exploding in a flurry of interest and curiosity. This album is set to entice and touch and move everyone who hears, and those who already have are talking about it.

Sara's lyrical storytelling encapsulates a diverse and honest creative individual. The music is mystical and passionate, at times hard and raw and at others protective and comforting, this, set against Sara's true-life experiences takes a listener on a very, very personal emotional journey. The diverse mix of styles, possess a depth and intimacy that is capturing the ears and hearts of those it encounters. Psychoactively sticky, The Grey Room is set to be the haunting hum in your head that won't let you go, Sara's voice being one that you can ill afford to miss.
