Katie Pruitt Expectations LP

NPR's The 50 Best Albums Of 2020 - Rated 16/50!

The single, Expectations, is the first off of Pruitt's debut album of the same name via Rounder Records. Pruitt has garnered enough buzz and excitement from her live shows and 2018's OurVinyl Live EP instilling the feeling that this album should be an electrifying debut.

The single demonstrates what Pruitt does best: blend indie rock, Americana and solid songwriting. With a sound that can almost be compared to Pinegrove meets Lori McKenna, "Expectations" is a feel good song that fits right into Pruitt's canon of addressing human topics such as religion, mental health, and love. It's hard not to feel a sense of relief listening to Pruitt's smooth voice.

"songs that are poignant, relatable and consistently well-crafted" - Nashville Scene

"songwriting chops and Brandi Carlile-influenced ability to project riveting warmth and intimacy," - NPR World Cafe

"An accomplished vocalist, Pruitt is also a formidable songwriter, writing mature, thoughtful songs that belie her young age."

"Katie's powerhouse vocals & poignant songwriting combine into a compelling, raw, & powerful artist whose musical style evokes the likes of Brandi Carlile, Bonnie Raitt, and Ani DiFranco, with a bit of Harper Lee thrown in for good measure." - Southwest Artist on the Rise

"powerhouse voice and wise, beautiful modern love songs...Pruitt is unapologetically herself, and her energy is a welcome addition to the Americana sphere. Like [Janis] Joplin, she tells stories of broken relationships and she sings with her entire face, from her core. It left me speechless. We'll be seeing a lot more of her."- Paste

An indispensable part of growing up is that moment when a new experience - a story, an image, a person - puts its first crack in the foundation of your worldview. Across 10 tracks, Katie Pruitt's debut album, Expectations, is an excavation of all those fractures and the latticework they leave behind.
