TAP TAP premieres on The Wild Honey Pie  

>> third single from 222 <<

With organic ambiance and glitches that perfectly surround a delicate acoustic sound, “TAP TAP” from Odetta Hartman is an unexpected journey. As her quietly piercing vocals project a sense of mystery, the winding track never delivers a perfunctory moment. Each sound and melody feels spontaneous yet intentional — the result of deliberate experimentation that seamlessly blends her folk roots with something more unconventional. - Lauren McKinney

DREAMCATCHERS featured on SPIN SINGLES MIX 

Falling somewhere between mid-’00s freak-folk, banjo blues, and Mumford (but not too Mumford) stomp-clap, New York’s Odetta Hartman lets the music guide her in this kookily lo-fi, totally off-kilter country twang-a-thon.— Rachel Brodsky for SPIN

DREAMCATCHERS is Song of the Week on The Bluegrass Situation  !!!

Clocking in at just under two minutes, Odetta Hartman's "Dreamcatchers" is a quick and grimy little tune that's instantly captivating. The song appears on Hartman's forthcoming 222, a dream-like collection of songs that, while rooted in folk, play with psychedelia and experimental elements to a compelling end. If you're into the sort of stuff that tests and pushes boundaries, this one's for you. - Allison Hussey for The Bluegrass Situation

Death & Taxes premieres DREAMCATCHERS

>> the second single from 222 <<

Hartman’s upcoming album 222 is her first strictly solo record, created with partner and producer Jack Inslee, and while country, folk, and bluegrass influences are featured throughout, the album is anything but traditional. Start with its running time–the entire album clocks in at 22 minutes–more typical of a Ramones record than The Band. Detuned violins and samples of Hartman’s own field recordings create eerie, psychedelic soundscapes that explore the darker, hidden stories and themes that make up the American gothic. And Hartman isn’t afraid of incorporating modern influences, backing tracks with electronic beats and plenty of bass. - Drew Salisbury for Death & Taxes Mag

“Ease into springtime with Odetta Hartman‘s pastoral pop vision. The young singer-songwriter is surely familiar with New York City’s folk tradition, but on new track “Creektime,” she’s more concerned with creating her own future. Taken from her upcoming album 222, the song finds Hartman exploring the balance between nature and machines. Her striking voice glides over the minimalist production, the crisp, programmed percussion balancing against delicate banjo plucking.”

LISTEN << 222 :: CREEKTIME >>

“Haunting and eerie, Odetta Hartman invokes the perfect marriage between old and new folk on her single "Creektime."

The simplicity that bellows beneath the complex surface of this track emits originality and inventiveness. The short, sweet duration of the song is just enough to leave the listener enamored and searching for more. Odetta is dangling this track above our head with the perfect plan to keep us in the palm of her hand, waiting for her next freak-folk formula.

With a sound like Odetta Hartman's, this hybrid of folk surely deserves the spotlight.”

<< Odetta Hartman >> is a young woman keeping the spirit of Old New York alive. With a heart-stopping voice and wide-ranging instrumental talent - she carries cowboy soul into a new era where country can clash with computers, and bluegrass isn't afraid of bass.

With her first strictly solo record, 222 -- an experimental, bedroom-produced hybrid of folk, musique concrète and psychedelia -- Odetta Hartman and her partner, sound artist and producer Jack Inslee, have created something completely original and unsettling: badass banjos, detuned violins, superstitious stories and eerie soundscapes all give backing to beautiful vocal stylings that range from sensual to spooky. 

<< 222 >> presents itself as a post-modern audio novella: its 22 - minute running time makes it as concise as your favorite Netflix episode, and its eclectic edge is sure to leave your head spinning by the time you're through. In addition to writing all of the songs, Odetta sings, plays banjo, violin and guitar and incorporates samples from her own field recordings to create a truly idiosyncratic world of sound. A companion remix EP will be released in collaboration with Full Service Party, featuring unique reinterpretations of each track from some of the finest talents in the electronic music world.
