Sumie - Never Wanted To Be


You and I, we make a grand salute
stare at each other like lost little birds across the room
and I remember the way you looked
I learned how to dance, but I'd never shown it to you

my love,
I know I was wrong, but you know that you'll always be
my love
stay for a while while our leaves are still green
please, for me

I know I tried, but it's hard sometimes
the roots don't take, it takes a while
and you pull at the strings
but they're broken, it seems
the dance isn't over for me, no

my love,
I know I was wrong, but you know that you'll always be
my love
stay for a while while our leaves are still green
please, for me


Basia Bulat - Little Waltz

Every Eye Open

A Chicago late-night blues rendition of a poem written in the 1600s by Robert Herrick.

TO BLOSSOMS.

Fair pledges of a fruitful tree,
Why do ye fall so fast?
Your date is not so past,
But you may stay yet here awhile
To blush and gently smile,
And go at last.

What, were ye born to be
An hour or half's delight;
And so to bid good-night?
'Twas pity Nature brought ye forth,
Merely to show your worth,
And lose you quite.

But you are lovely leaves, where we
May read how soon things have
Their end, though ne'er so brave:
And after they have shown their pride
Like you, awhile, they glide
Into the grave.

R. HERRICK.

The cover painting is by Australian artist Charles Conder, and was inspired by the poem -- 'Herrick's Blossoms'

"„It took them seven years to complete their new album, but as „From Shores Of Sleep“  turned out as such a revelation of beauty, the waiting was well worth. With a cast of fine musicians, Sean Ogilvie and Micah Rabwin have crafted out an album full of timeless music, appreciative and melancholic, saturated with aery folk-pop melodies and of infinite elegance…..an invitation for a journey through a musical novel in ten chapters, on the edge between dream and reality, touched by glistening moments of psychedelia." - Rolling Stone (FR)

Sóley - The Sun Is Going Down II

Tracks from the limited edition vinyls out on Record Store Day, April 21st. 

Tindersticks - Medicine (Extended)

Το ντεμπούτο album τους, “Verba Time”, έχει αποσπάσει ενθουσιώδεις κριτικές και το κομμάτι “In A Bar” έχει σπάσει ρεκόρ ακροάσεων στο youtube. Οι Tango With Lions επιστρέφουν αυτή την άνοιξη με το δεύτερο πολυαναμενόμενο album τους “A Long Walk”.  Με μεγάλο περίπατο μοιάζει η πορεία τους τα τελευταία χρόνια.  Το project της  Kat (Κατερίνα Παπαχρήστου) ξεκίνησε σαν μια μεταβαλλόμενη ομάδα μουσικών που εξελίχθηκε στη σημερινή σταθερή πλέον σύνθεση του συγκροτήματος που ηχογράφησε το “A Long Walk”.
   
Τα 10 τραγούδια του album, με αφετηρία τη σύνθεση και τους στίχους της Kat, ενορχηστρώθηκαν σιγά-σιγά από όλο το συγκρότημα τα τελευταία δύο χρόνια, μέσα από διαρκές pre-production και πρόβες. Οι ηχογραφήσεις ξεκίνησαν το καλοκαίρι του 2012 και ολοκληρώθηκαν τον Ιανουάριο του 2013 στο στούντιο SCA από τον Θοδωρή Ζευκιλή.
 
Όπως στο “Verba Time”  έτσι και εδώ το κάθε τραγούδι είναι και μια μικρή ιστορία, όμως, αυτή τη φορά οι ιστορίες είναι αυτοτελείς, με διαδρομές μέσα σε σκοτεινά όνειρα, νυχτερινά ταξίδια, ηλιόλουστες φαντασιώσεις, αναμνήσεις και ιστορίες αγάπης και αποχωρισμού.  Στον μεγάλο περίπατο των Tango with Lions οι γλυκόπικρες μελωδίες και οι ονειρικοί στίχοι συναντούν γεμάτες ενορχηστρώσεις. Το αποτέλεσμα είναι μοναδικό: ατμοσφαιρικός ηλεκτρισμός με σκοτεινά ξεσπάσματα, μυσταγωγικές μελωδίες τρομπονιού, ένα παλιό πιάνο και ένα σκοτεινό και στιβαρό rhythm section, διατηρώντας πάντα την ιδιαίτερη ατμόσφαιρα που πλανάται γύρω από τη φωνή της Kat.

Το “A Long Walk” κυκλοφορεί σε cd, βινύλιο και digital album από την Inner Ear. 

Tango With Lions είναι οι:
Κατερίνα Παπαχρήστου – φωνή, ακουστική κιθάρα, πιάνο
Γιάννος Παραμυθιώτης – ηλεκτρική κιθάρα, φωνητικά
Νίκος Βεργέτης – ντραμς, percussion, φωνητικά
Jim Staridas – τρομπόνι, φωνητικά
Θοδωρής Ζευκιλής – μπάσο, φωνητικά

Their debut album, "Verba Time", has received enthusiastic reviews and the song "In A Bar" has broken a record of views on youtube. Tango With Lions return this spring with their highly anticipated second album, "A Long Walk". Their musical path during the last four years could be compared to a long walk. The project of Kat (Katerina Papachristou) began as a changing group of musicians and has grown to be the stable lineup of the band that recorded "A Long Walk".
   
With the compositions and lyrics of Kat as a starting point, the band took their time to arrange the 10 album songs with continuous pre-production and rehearsals during the last two years. The recordings began in summer 2012 and were completed in January 2013 by Thodoris Zefkilis in SCA studio.
 
As in "Verba Time" so here, every song is a small story, but this time the stories are self-contained, with routes through dark dreams, night trips, sunny fantasies, memories and stories of love and separation. In Tango With Lions’ long walk bittersweet melodies and dreamy lyrics encounter rich arrangements. The result is unique: atmospheric electricity with dark outbursts, mystic trombone melodies, an old piano and a dark and solid rhythm section, always maintaining the special atmosphere that hovers around Kat’s voice.

“A Long Walk” is released in cd, vinyl and digital album from Inner Ear.

Tango With Lions are:
Katerina Papachristou – voice, acoustic guitar, piano
Yannos Paramithiotis – electric guitar, vocals
Nikos Vergetis – drums, percussion, vocals
Jim Staridas – trompone, vocals
Thodoris Zefkilis – bass, vocals
