INTERVIEWS AND CONCERTS FOR THE WEEK


Monday 07/21
AN INTERVIEW WITH ALU
Macabre imagery reveals a dream world

Alu is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, who creates ambient soundscapes for her songs of lost innocence, cultural ennui and interior dialogues. With a voice that sounds like Kate Bush in a cabaret, Alu sings of casket salesmen, circus cosmos and buzzin' brains that populate her captivating fantasy stories. We talk about her sophomore album, Lobotomy Sessions.

AN INTERVIEW WITH SIMON JEFFES AT THE PENGUIN CAFÉ
Ambient chamber music pioneers get the re-issue treatment
He scored the strings for the Sid Vicious rendition of "My Way" and hung out with Brian Eno, but Simon Jeffes is best known for his idiosyncratic and influential chamber group, The Penguin Café Orchestra. Simon Jeffes died in 1997 but his CDs are all being reissued. We revisit an interview with this pioneering composer.

A LIVING ROOM CONCERT WITH HAMMOCK
Ambient Duo stretches shoegazing time

Hammock put out one of our favorite albums last year, Raising Your Voice...Trying to Stop An Echo. It was our CD of the Month in January 2007. The Nashville duo of Andrew Thompson and Marc Byrd took their shoegazer affections and stretched them out over ambient time. On a new CD called Maybe They Will Sing For Us Tomorrow, they elongate it further in an ambient dreamscape. Hammock swing into the Echoes Living Room, where they play live.
