Album Notes

Seattle's Black Cat Orchestra has played for bars, weddings, silent films and cafes since 1991. They perform old pop songs from the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe and Asia and elsewhere, with a dreamy and cinematic feel.

Mysteries Explained, the Black Cat Orchestra's second album, takes a sweeping look at life's pleasures and treacheries. It includes songs from Argentina, Turkey, Brazil, a 16th century liturgical work, a Yiddish tango, and a Kurt Weill song. It also features several original pieces that were written for live silent film soundtracks.
