Hit: 5 Stars
Keren Ann (Zeidel) assures us in the first tune on this amazing CD that she's not going anywhere, and she closes her effort by asking her listeners to follow her. Maybe, after you play the CD a few times (and you need to hear it more than once), you'll be glad she's promised to stick around. And maybe you'll be wanting to follow along as she embarks upon what looks like a bright career, too.
This French-Israeli chanteuse, singing in English for the first time (she was recently profiled in "The New Yorker" magazine, which is where I first learned of her) is, well . . . hard to say exactly. Folkie? Too edgy. Pop? Not hardly! New age? I don't think so. Jazz? Umm no. Unclassifiable? Well I guess.
In any case: Her tunes flow seamlessly on, sometimes soothing, sometimes scaring. Sometimes there are horns. Highlights, in addition to the opening and closing cuts would be "By the Cathedral," the chilling "End of May," and one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard, "Sailor and Widow," which has a strange galumphing minor-key march tempo. Its incendiary verses tumble out of Keren's mouth half spoken half sung (forget trying to follow along with the lyric sheet--wait till it's over and go back and check it out then) while she sings the chorus in a deadpan alto that is, on the grittiness scale, somewhere between Suzanne Vega and Kristin Hersh.
If you give it a chance, odds are it'll be on your CD player for quite awhile.
Not Going Anywhere Poster
Limited Asian edition of her sophomore album features a total of 10 bonus tracks, five on the first disc; 'Le Sable Mouvant', 'Jardin D'hiver', 'Ailleurs', 'L'illusionniste', 'Decrocher Les Etoiles' ( with Benjamin Biolay ) and five additional tracks on the bonus CD; 'Beautiful Day', 'I Was Made To Love Magic' (Nick Drake Cover), 'Fingertips', 'By The Cathedral' (Unplugged) and 'Spanish Song Bird' (Unplugged).This is the most complete version of this album available anywhere!. Standard Jewelcase and slim line jewel case packaged in a slip case. EMI.There's something foreign, and disturbing about Keren Ann Zeidel's fourth album. The Israeli native doesn't so much sing, as inhabit her moody compositions, creating haunting soundscapes that are as unsettling as they are beautiful, lingering in the memory long after you've put the CD back into its case. The multi-instrumentalist combines a hushed fragility with a fierce poetic austerity--with odd, truncated, inner rhymes--beginning with her rather severe confessional "Not Going Anywhere," to the ghostly specter and strategic awkwardness of "End of May" extending throughout the eleven songs that make up this disquieting collection. The chanteuse has abandoned her former trip-hop posturing that earned her early comparisons to Beth Orton and Portishead's Beth Gibbons, and instead has adopted an almost hesitant fatalism that chills the listener to the bone. --Jaan Uhelszki
