   About trentalange
 







Named one of the top ten artists to watch in 2008.
-Seattle Sound Magazine.

There are a lot of dark torch singers in this shabby world, but none more velvety and atmospheric than Trentalange.
-Skratch Magazine

The first solo album by Crooked Fingers alum Barbara Trentalange bridges the gap between Portishead's Dummy in 1995 and a post-meltdown sound of the future. The Seattle-based singer and multi-instrumentalist, who wrote and recorded all of the disc's songs, takes the moody, hypnotic quality of mid-90's trip-hop and adds an art-rockish urgency that pays a bigger debt to Kraftwerk than to Roxy Music. The result is twelve magnetic songs in minor keys that are a far cry from your older sister's goth records.
-venus magazine

Photo Album is a powerful and affecting work by any measure, but as Barbara Trentalange's debut solo statement, it is an astonishing achievement.
-Amplifier

This is a inspired work, the sort of album that will sound better five years down the line. Gorgeous, strong and unwavering. I'd put it in a vault to save, but I just have to hear it once more.
-Aiding and Abetting

Photo Album of Complex Relationships is a triple threat of strong instrumentation, lyrics and vocals. The album's 12 tracks incorporate Trentalange's unique and oftentimes haunting voice woven into diverse instrumentation of strings, piano and strong percussion lines.
-Daily Tar Heel

It is not solely the music that makes this a great album, but her vocals, as well. They are haunting, yet soothing at the same time. At various, points listeners may feel as though they are hearing the laments of a fallen angel.
-Daily Aztec

A PLACE FOR ME

There is a special place in life,
that needs my humble skill,
A certain job I’m meant to do,
which no one else can fulfil.
The time will be demanding,
and the pay is not too good
And yet I wouldn’t change it for a moment
-- even if I could
There is a special place in life,
a goal I must attain,
A dream that I must follow,
because I won’t be back again.
There is a mark that I must leave,
however small it seems to be,
A legacy of love for those
who follow after me
There is a special place in life,
that only I may share,
A little path that bears my name,
awaiting me somewhere.
There is a hand that I must hold,
a word that I must say,
A smile that I must give
for there are tears to blow away.
There is a special place in life
that I was meant to fill.
A sunny spot where flowers grow,
upon a windy hill.
There’s always a tomorrow
and the best is yet to be,
And somewhere in this world,
I know there is a place for me.
