She'll be accompanied by the always amazing Todd Sickafoose on bass. I haven't kept track of the number of times I've seen Rachael and Mila play on the same night (if not at the same place then right nearby), but it's been more than a few over the years. Kinda funny how that goes. - -- =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== hear at the HOMe House Concert Series http://hom.smoe.org =============================================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2006 17:36:44 -0800 (PST) From: Craig Gidney Subject: Apple Pentacle, by Louisa John-Krol. (Prikosnovenie) The Scottish folklorist Andrew Lang collected European myths and folktales, retold them for a Victorian audience, and grouped them according to theme and, ultimately, color. Australian singer-songwriter Louisa John-Krol has a background as professional storyteller, and like Lang, has found a common theme, stories of the Green Man, and uses this album to explore a cross-cultural archetype, from the English Robin Hood to the Welsh Atho. The wonderfully whimsical package comes with extensive liner notes, including an essay about the appearances of the Green Man in world mythology. Its a high concept album that sounds pretensions and self-indulgent on paper. But John-Krol and her cohorts (husband Mark, producers Harry Williamson and Brett Taylor) attempt to evoke her overarching concept through music. Indeed, the lyrics are impressionisticthey are snippets of half-told tales and are sung with such delicacy and precision, they are inseparable from the music. LJKs soprano swoops through pieces that meld folk, progressive pop, electronica and new age in inventive and pleasing ways. After an ethereal invocation of the opening Atho, the Wurlitzer-heavy The Windrow plays like a vintage Jefferson Airplane piece. Which One of These Worlds? begins with Laurie Anderson-like processed vocals before descending into propulsive trance electronica. Spin, and The Green Pentacle are medieval folk, with hurdy-gurdy and harp accompanying acoustic guitar. The closing Kummanngur is a drone-filled tribal song that wouldnt sound out of place on a Delirium album. One of the pleasures of this album is how the disparate musical set pieces fit together like a puzzle. You can barely see the joinery between the modern touches (synthesizers, drum machines) and archaic instruments, such as dulcimers, violas and harps. LJK reminds one of Loreena McKennitt and Kate Bush, and like those women, shes a multi-instrumentalist and composer who follows her wild muse wherever it leads her. She does bringer a darker, if not gothic, aspect to her music that grounds her flights of fancy. This dark, dreamy album is the aural equivalent of the fairytale art of Edmund Dulac and Gustav Dore. --Craig L. Gidney - --------------------------------- Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about.
