Bio / Background
From the Urban View (Oakland, CA) 9/13/00:
"The 12 (+1) songs on Little Knives comprise a desperately packed bouquet of heartbroken lullabies and diary-frank revelations, following in the no-holds-barred indie folk tradition set by their first CD, Cans of Worms.
Just as on that disc, the two most immediately noticeable and striking features of Little Knives are Valerie Esway's voice and each song's intently thoughtful arrangements. Each song strives to make the most of the musicians' talents and the soaring, luminous qualities of Esway's vocal chords.
The arrangements this time around are more daring, featuring a cadre of musicians-including Esway's husband Lucio Menegon, Alex de Soria and Jon Curtis of Peachfish, Gunnar Madsen, Kathleen Fernald, and Ari Fellow-Mannion-who play everything from a vintage Hammond B-3 organ to violin and ukulele.
The song offerings on this new outing are dark and contemplative.
