When Jessica Pratt released her self-titled debut album, which she boasts had virtually no post-production, the singer-songwriter was critically praised for her austere guitar and hypnotic voice.

Pratt spoke with AP entertainment reporter Krysta Fauria about the challenges of adding instrumentation, her process for coming up with an album and channeling 1960s pop music.
