Eliza Jaye to deliver debut album later this month

AUSSIE Eliza Jaye will release her debut album The Seed on July 26th.

Her first single Black Heart Rum was released back in September 2011 and it - and its three follow up tracks since - have been picked up by stations across the UK including tastemasters Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson.

The album has taken stylistic ideas from blues, punk and rock and features Eliza on guitar and vocals and features her sister Anna (Bat For Lashes, British Sea Power) on violin.

She will be playing a launch gig at The Ranelagh in her adopted UK home of Brighton.
