A beautiful rendition of ‘Pause’ from Katie Kim’s Cover & Flood album as captured by Myles O’Reilly during the broadcast of Donal Dineen’s 2FM Radio Activity Christmas special last month.
Katie uploaded a couple of new songs in a similar vein which may or may not feature on a new album. ‘Body Break’ is a brittle piano track with a swell of voice and sound while ‘Left You Covered’ is a bit more of a spooky dirge. Hear them below.

Scarily good new record… Like nothing I’ve heard all year.
Gorgeous. That Cover & Flood failed to make the Meteor list would be almost comical were it not for the vital exposure she’s now been robbed of. For the record, it was my album of 2012 at http://anthonyokeeffe.com.
