The third release on Tartaruga and the third debut album is the full-length record from the London-based Quinta. Quinta's dad gave her this name when she was a baby. He was a teacher of Latin and Greek, and she was the fifth of five children, and a girl.

Quinta was a member of the Bat For Lashes band that toured with Radiohead in 2008, and features on the recent Two Suns album. For this, her first solo release, she plays violin, viola, musical saw, keyboards, clarinet, toy and vintage instruments, and anything else that makes a good noise. The album is playful, humourous, nostalgic and original, how pop music might sound in an alternative and less formulaic universe...

As well as her solo work, Quinta currently plays with Orphans & Vandals, Pthhhh, and Victoria Hume. She has played also with Joni Davis, Bat for Lashes, Mette Bille, Clearlake, Mary Hampton, The Accidental, Chris Letcher, London Breakbeat Orchestra, Tundra, and Ginger Lee.

Released initially as a limited edition CD of just 200 copies in deluxe handmade, screen-printed gatefold card packaging, available to buy on the Tartaruga Records website and a few select other independent music stores, and now available as a full digital release HERE

I'm a little in love with Tartaruga Records. Those lovely folk who dazzled & confounded us with Bleeding Heart Narrative have done it again with their 3rd release, 'My Sister, Boudicca' by the amazing Quinta. The instrumentation she employs on this album is often rooted within the classical sphere but she brings in a homely, folkish feel to her curious, spellbinding little movements... incredibly moving, playful & nostalgic, 'My Sister, Boudicca' is a cohesive, impressive record with something for any adventurous music lover. Album Of The Week at the drop of a hat!!!
Norman Records

A record of quite stunning grace and beauty, but also wildly inventive and playful... a beautiful, witty and original record that delights from beginning to end.
