Lilly Among Clouds - Green Flash Elisabeth Bruechner aka Lilly Among Clouds is a singer/songwriter from Bavaria and released her second album last year. Interesting and sometimes a bit husky voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtkOF0FTMn8 To be honest, though, the production on this album is almost too radio friendly fo my taste, compared to her live arrangements. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFEx2llpVKQ Cellar Darling - The Spell Anna Murphy hails from Switzerland. She sings and also plays flute and hurdy gurdy, but the band's music is more progressive rock or even metal as it is folk. Their current album is a concept piece based on a "Death and the maidenb story, and if I had to name an album of the year, it would be this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV-uzJQN3mU Heilung - Futha When a few years ago some members and collaborators of the band Euzen, another fave of mine, announced that they were working on some new project, I had no idea what was coming and I'd never dreamed that itbll become that big. This is their second studio album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPV38e7yfSo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x64eR-Q3P0g Saw them live twice this year, a remarkable experience. Theybre currently touring north America, but I think most of their shows are sold out. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #2699 ****************************
