Early Days

If the name and the voice sound familiar but you're unsure from where, it's probably due to her previous outstanding vocal appearances on Air's Moon Safari album on the tracks 'All I Need' and 'You Make It Easy' (which Hirsch also co-wrote). Early Days finds her getting back to basics with a captivating combination of expressive voice and nimble acoustic guitar accompaniment (supplied by Phil Hudson). Revealing a link to Suzanne Vega, she sounds both passionate and feathery, alternately singing and speaking her flowery lyrics..Hirsch reveals a sizeable debt to singer/poet Joni Mitchell but maintains the strength in her own voice.
