Blue Vinyl
Hailing from Baltimore, Maryland this four piece weirdo chamber folk ensemble takes you in its bipolar grip, casting spells of malaise and joy...felicity and misery. The palette is spattered with Balkan and Yiddish traditional influence, but with an original and new collective instinct. Accordion, singing saw, glockenspiel, melodica, drums, guitar and the clip clop of a melee of organic percussion couple with the echo of wordless vocals. The overall effect is hypnotizing and plays out like some sort of live action music box or the soundtrack to something at musee mechanique. Think Harry Potter in a one-piece 1920's style striped bathing suit.
