MP3: Theresa Andersson - Birds fly away
Theresa Andersson is a Swedish expat multi-instrumentalist based out of New Orleans with a new album "Hummingbird, go!" coming out on Basin Street Records on September 2. Hopefully you've already checked out the video for "Na na na" which is spectacular showcase of her musical prowess and now her PR firm has followed up with the go-ahead to post "Birds fly away", so that's the track I'm sharing with you today. It's got a southern gospel feel in the melody, something I'd fully expect to rub off on anyone residing down in NOLA, mixed with a girl-group stomp. Oh, and lots and lots of handclaps. Again, her skills with loops and layering are superb -- even if you can't see it for yourself, hopefully you can at least try to picture each separate piece in your mind. Be patient though, eventually you will be able to see how it plays out as she'll be touring extensively in the near future. Dates at myspace: http://www.myspace.com/theresaanderssonmusic
I'm actually kinda surprised to see that the hype on her is kinda subdued so far, but then again, all too often it's the best music that goes ignored. Pity!
