Poet, Singer, Songwirter, Catherine Conlin (formerly leader of San Francisco's Bedtime Story and WORD) has joined up with Musician, Engineer, Producer and Visionary, Konstantine Baranov (Moscow-- Copernicus, Alliance, The Keepers, Timezone and Stereotypes; US--The Earthlings, Inflato, Life Copies Movies and KGK Project).
Dreamy, witty, spontaneous lyrics by Conlin over (and in collaboration with) Baranov's masterful guitars, synths and loops. Add bass and drum tracks by Geo Kitta and Kenn LeGault (Baranov engineered KGK Project), and sultry, music deep with content inspired by things like a beautiful abandoned church, overgrown gardens, weeds, sea urchins, as well as spies and their compensation.
"I really can't tell you the truth because I don't know the truth, I swallowed the truth before you trapped me here in the corner." ... "Mr. Secret-Agent-Man don't make me tell you what you don't want to know. I put your number on a piece of paper, you can't get it from me. I swallowed it...I get paid for this!"
This is Conlin's second CD with another being produced in Moscow by XMZ with Strange Decision Records and a third to be released in January, 2010.
Recommended if you like Laurie Anderson, Cowboy Junkies, Cocteau Twins, Portisehead.
