"Marnie is, simply, on fire right now. I'd seen her during SXSW '06 when she was accompanied by an iPod Nano, and giving her In Advance Of The Broken Arm songs the Dan Deacon treatment seemed unfair to her tunes, as well as to her playing (when live tapping doesn't sync with prerecorded tapping, it's not pretty). Well, that's all gone. Throughout the three times total I'd see her last week (our party, once at the Gothamist House in Gowanus, and my favorite set at Cake Shop), she was straight fire, supported with a guitarist and not-Zach-Hill-but-still-great drummer. The guitar goddess in her flared, armed with one of my absolute favorite LPs of the year in This Is It..., and with each minute I see a kinetic, singularly impressive star ready to pull shit into her orbit." -Stereogum
"Arty, feminine guitar-rock that infiltrated Guyville without a mission statement" -Pitchfork 8.3
let the people know woman! haha the truth is out and zach has stated he is workin on a new album with you in the near future!! tell me this is true! haha
We are finally ready to start promoting my 'I Surrender' single with my album, 'Ella Trip' coming right after -yey!! What d'ya think to the video teaser?
Found you on Melt Banana's Pandora station. Decided to check out "the band" and wandered in here. I've pretty much fallen in love with The Crippled Jazzer. It's become that song that you play over and over and over for me. I'll be looking out for a follow up hopefully. Perhaps The Cripple Jazzer II: Physical Therapy.
....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our fourth LP release...
LEILA ADU has been described as 'A Nina Simone for the Noughties', and her two acclaimed albums infuse a broadly 'art-rock' approach with elements of torch song, speakeasy blues, avant garde jazz, gamelan, post-rock textures, and a David Lynch style dreamlike b-movie melodrama. As her website has it, exploring the "dissonant edges of familiar forms", but with that kind of 'dissonance' that they once accused Thelonious Monk or Debussy of, the kind that soon betrays it's own compelling melodic and harmonic logic to the attentive listener...
'Dark Joan', Leila's third album as a solo artist, was recorded in Chicago with the legendary Steve Albini (PJ Harvey, Joanna Newsome, Nirvana, Pixies), and Albini's genius has been to strip her sound back to it's essence, and hold it's most distinctive qualities up to the light. It doesn't hurt that this is by far Leila's most powerful set of songs to date, and if anything we are lead even deeper into her world by the pictures painted with just piano (or in some cases harpsichord or a grime-encrusted electric piano) and that voice...
Capable of anything from delicate heartbreaking purity to a fearsome dramatic power, her powers are seemingly limitless, yet unlike most other singers of her calibre, never does she resort to melodrama or show-boating, or any kind of pastiche, instead she employs her resources fully in the expression of her distinctive musical vision and the deep well-spring of her imagination. Nothing ever sounds as though it could have not been sung...
