Bio
CONTACT: admin@tinpanorange.com Some People have said... "From the minute that Tinpan takes the stage one is struck by the synergy of something so gentle yet powerful. The partnership of jesse, emily and alex is a formidable knock out combination. They all know when to let it breathe or drive it home. The web they weave instantly catches you and you are happy to be their captive." - John Butler "If my voice had a baby it would be hers." - Renee Geyer "… delightfully, whimsical yet virtuosic... Like old lace, claw-footed baths and wooden recod players, this album sounds like it's of another time, with its words of love letters, insects, dreams and flowers in bloom." – Canberra Times "Sweet, lyrical tunes that will make you want to have a lazy Sunday afternoon with your sweetheart, or go on a quirky adventure down the rabbit hole... Gentle, unique, truthful, peaceful, beautiful… Trust me. Get this album..." – Rave Review (Feature Album of the Month) "There's a weird call of the old country about Tinpan Orange - especially weird if you don't have a branch of gypsy caravans in your family tree. Such is the universal sigh in Emily Lubitz's supple voice, combined with the lulling melancholy of her brother Jesse's Spanish guitar and the many smaller strings of Alex Burkoy. Chinese Whispers is all sepia postcard destinations; Every Single Day finds the singer reminiscing about an imagined future in a previous century - as one does, when the strings and murmuring male chorus are rolling just so. Her tunes drip with old-world romance, from the opening balcony scene of Romeo Don't Come to the slow motion farewell of Saudades, which sounds like the credits rolling on a receding Portuguese trading ship. Cat Empire / Jackson Jackson wildcard Harry Angus is the Melbourne group's fourth ingredient: his subtle piano lines and arranging skills are enough to make you forget the virtual absence of drums and electricity. But it is Burkoy's exhilarating violin solo in Peppercorn Trees that illustrates the restraint that makes this music so potent." - The Age **** (4 stars) "They take to the stage with simple motives: to share the music flowing through their veins and reach out to their audiences with complete sincerity and warmth... This is a class act, refined with constant national touring and primed for targets close the heart." - Herald Sun **** (4 stars) "Front and centre is Emily's pristine, soulful voice and romantic aura that ranks her as one of this country's outstanding vocalists. Passion oozes from every note while still retaining a girl-down-the-street detachment... Listen to the guitar wizard Alex Burkoy... To watch him play live is a revelation." - The West Australian **** (4 stars) "Whatever they've done it's worked. This is one of those records that will last you a lifetime of listening: warm, organic, imperfect and wonderful." - Beat Magazine
