The Fold and la-underground present:
INARA GEORGE
Inara George is one half of The Bird and the Bee and a member of
the trio The Living Sisters, with Eleni Mandell and Becky Stark.
Jackson Browne wrote the song "Of Missing Persons" for Inara George
after the death of her father.
"Ms. George muses on love, yearning and separation in lyrics that
can be ingenuous or surreal." -New York Times
"With her steady, crystalline voice, the only voice heard, George
sounds like the still center of a swirling one-woman musical."
– Pitchfork
FERRABY LIONHEART
“For fans of Devendra Banhart and Rufus Wainwright, Nashville
born and Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter Ferraby Lionheart's
sweetly yearning vocals and quirkily imagistic lyrics mix into
intimate piano and guitar driven pieces that often grow into larger
moments punctuated by deft horn and string arrangements. In that
sense, Lionheart will most surely draw favorable comparisons to
such iconic '60s artists as the Beatles, Harry Nilsson and Brian
Wilson. In truth, Lionheart's melodic pop most closely resembles
the work of Elliott Smith and in that sense, fans of Smith should
find much to enjoy here.” - All Music Guide
ELENI MANDELL
“With a sultry smokes-and-booze voice and a delivery that's
"can't be bothered" one minute and "pinch me if I'm dreaming" the
next, Eleni Mandell is hopeful and derisive, dramatic and playful,
a Holly Golightly if she'd been written by Raymond Chandler... The
dry, textured instrumentation scares away at all the right moments,
allowing her quietly molten voice to seep into the cracks. Imagine
Norah Jones if she subbed Starbucks for martinis, plus some of
Suzanne Vega's artful detachment minus the chill factor.” -
Rolling Stone
"Los Angeles singer-songwriter Eleni Mandell ... was weaned on
artists like Tom Waits and X, and her dark and sexy songs have been
compared to those of everyone from Chan Marshall to Patsy Cline." -
New Yorker
