Emiliana Torrini
Yes, I haven’t made a post since late April 2008, which is basically six months ago. I chose Emiliana Torrini as the post to break the 6-month slack because her latest record is all I listened to in August.
Emiliana came out with a new album a few months ago called “Me and Armini” and it is just sublime. She gets better and better with every album. 1999’s “Love In The Time of Science” was heavy on the trip-hop/electronic production, and I love that record, but since she’s gone more organic (acoustic guitars, mellow drumbeats played with brushes and rods, and subtle piano and percussion), her music just soars. Check out three songs from “Me and Armini”
FIREHEADS (the album opener)
BIRDS
GUN (my favorite track from the record)
Visit Emiliana’s myspace to hear more songs, and to order her music and/or merch!
