Scissors In My Pocket (21st Anniversary Edition)

Polly Paulusma’s acclaimed 2004 debut returns in a definitive 21st anniversary edition, pairing the original album with five bonus tracks (CD only), including two previously unreleased recordings and three sought-after B-sides.

 Originally released by One Little Independent, Scissors In My Pocket earned praise from Uncut and The Independent, received BBC Radio 2 playlist support and launched Polly Paulusma onto stages with Bob Dylan, Coldplay, Marianne Faithfull and The Divine Comedy.

Recorded largely in a South London garden shed, the album’s intimate blend of folk, chamber pop and literary songwriting remains as compelling today as ever. This expanded edition also honours the original artwork by Louise Riley-Smith, making it an essential catalogue release for fans of Beth Orton, Laura Marling, Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell, with strong appeal to collectors and contemporary folk audiences.
