   About Rebecca Pronsky


Rebecca Pronsky continues to stake her claim as one of New York's finest young singers and songwriters. Rebecca's songs are "literate, passionate, and wry" (TIME OUT NY) with "brutal, cutting lyricism" (ITHACA TIMES), and "are lent authority by her big jazz-trained voice" (VILLAGE VOICE). She has travelled the country showcasing her country-tinged pop-noir songs, sharing stages with the likes of Freedy Johnston, Steve Forbert, Carrie Rodriguez, Josh Ritter, Patty Larkin, Erin McKeown, Catie Curtis, and Loudon Wainwright III, among others. Her Nine Mile Records debut 'Departures & Arrivals' was named a Top Ten Album of 2008 by the Philadelphia City Paper and has been featured on XM Radio. Her new EP 'The Best Game in Town' is out now.


"Departures & Arrivals is most polished effort yet with a distinct country-pop flavor. Pronsky [is] one of the rising stars of Brooklyn's indie music scene... With slicker, ballsier vocals and jazzier progressions than your average folksinger, she bridges the gaps between folk, Americana, jazz, and indie pop" ~ East Bay Express

Critics' Pick Top Ten Album of 2008 "Rebecca Pronsky struck a deep chord on last year's Departures & Arrivals, with a little twang and a lot of empathy." ~ Philadelphia City Paper

"A huge voice with songs to match: file under talent yet to be discovered This is a definite grower as the songs reveal their secrets with repeated listens... a cut above your average female singer songwriter... I bet she’s phenomenal live." ~ Americana UK

"Listening to Rebecca Pronsky’s new EP 'The Best Game in Town' invokes probably the strongest feelings of western nostalgia you could possibly experience in the comfort of your Brooklyn home. Despite her NY roots, her passionate vocals and textured sandy tones vibe a southern belle who just wandered off the range to find herself eye-level with a mic... Her heart-lorn loneliness combined with her openly friendly and observational disposition draw the listener into her graceful lyrics.... Once again, Rebecca Pronsky has proven that songwriting is her game and she knows how to deliver it best – through impressively simple production." [Rated A] ~ Jezebel Music

Sound waves: turning voices. Quarteto vocal em ondas semi-controladas. Absurdo local e a periferia histórica. O "real" nasce da linguagem no preciso momento da percepção & feedback.

Estou ameno, colhido na turva água do dia findo
Finalmente no arcanjo que chora com o gelo
Nas suas mãos doidas de espinhos a fremir
Ferozes pilares que se encontram adormecidos por baixo dos corpos
Dos olhos de jóias perfuradas na noite pobre do meu querer
Enfeitas-te, oh, querida noite que tanto foste travo e testa
Cheia de rosas em semblante de oiro e que agora me
Deixas virgem de cor e som, escorregadio na neve
Eu vejo a tristeza dos meus queridos braços e pernas
Tatuados por amigos de cinza nos olhos febris
Eu vejo a amizade que os meus membros têm por mim
E que eu não aconselho ao fim da mármore alta do Judeu
Eu vejo homens violados por mulheres imaginárias
Nas esfíngies violentas do adeus sonâmbulo
Na noite adocicada do teu encolher de ombros
Nascem os tornozelos dos anjos cantantes
Das misericórdias supremas
Em fins de tardes coçadas por mãos de Deusa
Cruel e anónima, com os seus dedos esguios
A esvoaçarem nos campos de ervas cheios
Como os olhos dos felinos que se atravessam
Nas estradas onde não passam carros
Como os mendigos de pão no bolso que se afastam
Em ondas de pernas brancas e lisas no escuro
Como o suco de sexos usados em quartos de
Paredes vazias com os mirones entrecortados
Como a execução gráfica do condenado em páginas
Adoradas e torpes como violetas e narcisos murchos
Como as veias que sangram e dão vida a corpos
Nus que se estendem pela manhã nascente
No fim do mundo agonizante que quer pêndulos
No seu sexo guarnecido a jóias milenares
Eu sei que nasci para viver todos os dias
Com as mulheres que eu não conheço todas doidas
A fazerem carícias nas grades do meu calabouço suspenso
No ar imundo que eu respiro para morrer
