Amy solo with her best so far, playing guitar, bass, saxes like a demon and singing better than ever. Strong arrangements, exact and exiting use of musical sound, and beautiful, seductive recording. Lyrical, tough, mysterious in proportions not available
Editorial review
This is an intriguing, if bizarre, release. Over a period of a few months in 1991 (except for a couple numbers from June 1988) Amy Denio overdubbed herself on vocals, basses, guitars, alto sax, harmonica, alto recorder, bass mbira, organ, drum machine, and various household devices. The results are a sound collage that ranges from jazzy folk music to avant-garde sound explorations, with odd and barely understandable vocals punctuating the crowded ensembles. Overall it is a bit frivolous and self-indulgent -- interesting in spots but not terribly listenable. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Denio's a multi-instrumental home taper. After releasing various cassettes, this is her first solo CD, recorded on a TASCAM 4-track-midi cassette recorder.
Originally released by Kniting Factory Works, it's now available on her label Spoot Music. Adventures in stereo!
More than likely you’ll notice: fretted & fretless bass, electric & slide guitar, voices galore, alto sax, harmonica, alto recorder, bass mbira, popping bass calloused thumb joint on PZM mic, dishwasher, washing machine, low-fi Audio organ and the dreaded drum machine, all going in various directions at various speeds.
Featuring dB’s great-grandmother’s wind-up stuffed Bear on Lullabye.
Recorded on a TASCAM (4-track) Midistudio in the Madrona location of spacious Spoot Studios (the 4/8 foot space between the bed and the wall) February-April 1991, except B.C.B. and C.I.A., recorded at the Music Source in June 1988 with Ben Goldfarb engineering.
