It’s the rare artist who can weave metaphor-rich lyrics, haunting vocals and catchy melodies into something that is neither self-serious nor sticky-sweet—something that falls on the indie side of pop and well-groomed side of folk. Kate Cotter’s music may hold traces of a girlhood infatuation with Peter, Paul and Mary, but Cotter traded that folk cassette for the likes of Toad the Wet Sprocket, Tracy Chapman and U2.
