Sarabeth was born in Miami, but it was while growing up in Manhattan that she fell in love with her mother's favourite music such as Cat Stevens' 'Tea For The Tillerman' and Simon & Garfunkel. She went on to discover the likes of Neil Young, Big Star, The Zombies, The Velvet Underground, Television, Joy Division, The Dream Syndicate, The Gun Club, My Bloody Valentine and Elliott Smith for herself. However, more than any other, she worships Bob Dylan. "My whole life is wrapped up in his songs," she explains, revealing, at a push, that 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan' and 'Blonde On Blonde' are her favourites. "He is wholly original. There will never be anyone like him again."

Sarabeth has a sometime background guesting on Smog's acclaimed 2003 album 'Supper' as well as collaborating with Anton Newcombe on the Brian Jonestown Massacre's 'We Are The Radio" mini-album and making a fleeting appearance in the infamous documentary film 'Dig!' where she is introduced onstage at LA's Knitting Factory club as Anton's sister, shortly before he kicks a heckler in the face. However, it is her recently released self-titled debut album that has caused critics to froth at the mouth. Produced by Ethan Johns (Kings Of Leon, Ray LaMontagne) and Luther Russell (Richmond Fontaine, Fernando), and featuring 11 tracks - from the bitter-sweet 'Something For You' to the heartbreaking, string-laden closer 'Home' - the record is nothing short of a masterpiece. And should you not wish to take this from us, take it from others:

"stunning' (Uncut), "absolutely amazing" (NME) ,

"amazingly accomplished" (Sunday Times),

" a dusky desert-folk gem" (Times).
