If Kat Edmonson’s new 2018 album Old Fashioned Gal sounds like something out of classic Hollywood, it’s probably because she wrote most of the songs holed up in a Brooklyn apartment while going back and forth from writing to watching 1930s movies on Turner Classic Movies. Edmonson mixes retro-style singing with lyrics pining for a time before a never-ending barrage of text messages, notifications, and calls. It’s nostalgic, playful, and fun. Please turn off your cell phone and let Edmonson take you back to a simpler time.
