Melodic.net, Album Review >>
'Chocolate Paper Suites', is Krista Detor's fourth solo album, a series of 3-song suites, each connected by theme and/or imagery, and inspired by the works of Lorca, Dylan Thomas, and Darwin, among other thinkers, artists, and experiences.
Touring the US and Europe consistently, Detor has shared stages with Joan Armatrading, Aaron Neville, Suzanne Vega, Loudon Wainwright, Sam Phillips, Colin Linden, Chris Wood, Luka Bloom, Slaid Cleaves, Peter Mulvey, The Wailing Jennys, Jakob Dylan, Jez Lowe, Carrie Newcomer, Lucy Kaplansky, and John Gorka, among others, and travels with her partner and producer, David Weber.
It's a cool album. Sometimes the album takes the road to a beautiful valley of music and sometimes the album takes a trip into the jungle of a sad and "darker" mood. It's a journey of styles and you have as a listener an album in front of you that you can't pick out only one song from. You need the whole album to get the grip. And after a few listens it's a nice friend you have found. But there are songs that stand on their own. Songs like "Recklessness & Rust. A song, which is just is lovely on its own. All you open-minded listeners who enjoy girls like Kate Bush, Charlotte Martin and Jann Arden.
PS – A very cool sleeve by Hugh Syme btw 10/07/10 >> go there
