Good Things

pauline croze - larmes

We were saddened to hear that the remarkable singer Lhasa de Sela succumbed to breast cancer at age 37. Her performance at Symphony Space in the Fall of 2005 truly embodied our eclectic spirit, taking cues from Gypsy music, French cabaret, Mexican rancheras, and American country ballads. Listen to the concert here and find out why this explosive artist will be so deeply missed. <a title="theglobeandmail.com" href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/lhasa-de-sela-her-songs-like-her-life-went-everywhere/article1420009/">Click here</a> to read an appreciation from Canda's Globe and Mail. The Boston Globe calls Lhasa "the ultimate global chanteuse" while the New York Daily News describes her music as combining "the lyricism of Tom Waits, the dark tones of Nick Cave and the sensuality of Kate Bush." Taking her cues from Gypsy music, French cabaret, Mexican rancheras and American country ballads, her music is explosive.
With violin, accordion, trumpet, tuba, sousaphone, theremin, bouzouki, piano and percussion backing the soaring and heartbreaking vocals of Nick Urata, DeVotchKa's sound is transcendent. For this special show, DeVotchKa play as a duo, spotlighting urgent and tragic vocals and classically trained violin.

Mon Amour - Feat Mathieu Boogaerts

new album available: http://smarturl.it/SandraNkake2017

SANDRA NKAKÉ has found her own new way in a musical land where no one had gone before, her inner soul. Led by her magnificent voice and her partnership with Jî Drû, a new genre is born: moon like land, misty, meditative, delicate and intimate. A perfect combination of arty minimalist songs and NKAKÉ’s powerful voice. TANGERINE MOON WISHES is a concept album, free from the first notes. A shamanic voyage into a reddening and introspective ethereal world clinging to SANDRA NKAKÉ’s voice and breath.

Cover #26 from the series "Songs I Love" by Piers Faccini

Neil Young's 1974 album, On The Beach has always been one of my favourite records. I always loved the stripped down instrumentation and production and many of the songs are like uncut poetic gems, all the more beautiful for their raw unpolished quality. Like Springsteen's Nebraska, this album captures the full scope of a songwriter at the peak of creativity, uncensored and essential. Here's my version of the song, For the turnstiles, one of my favourites from the album and a song that playfully evokes mortality and the exit or turnstile that awaits us all at one point or another. In hommage to his original banjo part, I played the song with slide guitar and fretless banjo.
