KT Tunstall: 'Last album is a bit edgier'

KT Tunstall has said that her third album has more edge than its predecessors.

The singer-songwriter released Tiger Suit last September, a record which followed 2007's Drastic Fantastic and 2004 debut Eye to the Telescope.

Tunstall told Metro: "This album is a bit edgier and more angular-sounding, and it's been brilliant for our band to get their teeth into multi-layered music.

"It's a very interesting record to play live because it's very difficult to play live and it's also taken some of the older tunes in a different direction. It's proper pat-your-head and rub-your-tummy stuff."

Of her upcoming UK tour, she added: "The Brits can feel like we've honed this tour in America. We've definitely found our feet on stage."

Tunstall also described touring guitarist and former Ash star Charlotte Hatherley as "a properly exquisite musician".
