“COME THIEF, COME FIRE”

RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2014

Natalia Zukerman’s sixth studio effort, Come Thief, Come Fire began as two distinctly different EPs – one that was more introspective and acoustic, and one that embraced a larger, cinematic and more lush sound. But soon, drawn by the interconnections between the songs and the overarching theme of growth — of embracing the things we must destroy in order to let go and move forward — the songs begged to be kept together. What’s resulted is Zukerman’s most immediate, heartfelt and compelling release to date.

"The fact that Americana artist Natalia Zukerman plays acoustic guitar so well and sings superlatively is not a surprise...What is surprising is how good a songwriter Natalia is. Her lyrics are evocative and poetic, yet still manage to tell a good story. She sings about people and places with a clear eye for detail and clever way of turning a phrase." -Pop Matters
