Catherine Elms is an unsigned singer/songwriter and pianist, whose music combines heavy rock, dark cabaret, emotionally-charged melodies and impassioned lyrics. A self-taught non-classical pianist, Catherine’s raw and evocative playing style lies directly between the brash power of PJ Harvey and the baroque pop-rock of 1990s Tori Amos. Her music possesses a dark intensity with softly defined edges: both introspective and spirited. Described as “dramatic” (Buzz Magazine), “adventurous” (The Flux), “fragile and fierce” (Off The Radar), and “haunting” (South Wales Evening Post), Catherine is a rising artist in the South Wales music scene driven ever forward by a growing loyal fanbase. ‘So Far From Whole’ focuses on lyrical themes of betrayal, anger, fear, and the painful vulnerable process of healing. The EP closes with the title track, signalling a nervous step away from stifling surroundings and relationships and into a frightening (but liberating) place of resilience and strength. 'So Far From Whole' is available for purchase for £5 at www.catherineelms.co.uk, as well as Amazon, iTunes, Spotify, and Bandcamp. The EP was part-funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign, which reached its target goal within 2 and a half days and reached its stretch goal in a further 3 days, ending at 170% of the original goal.
