Edison Woods / Sarah Slean

Show Description

Edison Woods is a band of villains with a soft spot for love songs. Telling their tales with strings and piano, baritone sax and guitars, this eight piece group includes the vocals of Julia Frodahl and members of Antony & The Johnsons. "Edison Woods brings a unique mix of earthy lo-fi songs and cinematic landscapes...One can hear the lushness of Goldfrapp, the textural subtleties of The Dirty Three, the eerie qualities of Julee Cruise, and in Julia's voice the humble ponderings of Cat Power's Chan Marshall." - CD Baby

Juno Award (Canada's Grammy equivalent) winner for best new artist in 2003, Sarah Slean has just released her third album, Day One, and it's a hit. Slean's wisest and best-realized record to date, ranging from torch light moodiness to cabaret-noir to uptempo pop, Day One communicates its central themes of ruin and rebirth while still retaining a sense of optimism and playfulness. www.sarahslean.com
