via tania: listen up
I’m not usually a musical bully. I don’t usually say, hey listen to my music because its so fantabulous that it’ll blow you’re mind. Usually musical experiences are so objective anyway, what one person loves because they listened to it while slow dancing at prom another person will inadvertently hate. (And really can’t we all just show a little musical love here).
But Via Tania aka Tania Bowers has been in my cd player since 2003 when turntable lab (you’re gonna wanna check them out) featured a few of her songs from Under a Different Sky. There was just something about the fragile quality of her voice, like a whisper through your head phones that was just different enough and powerful enough to capture me at the time. She released her new album Moon Sweet Moon and I was all on board. When I found out she was performing in the big apple I knew if I didn’t attend the show it would be one of those moments I regretted (see sufjan stevens…sigh). The night was perfect, even after arriving late, even after walking through the rain and being soaked through to my socks.
If you’ve got the time. If you’ve got the energy please dig”
Audio of the last song she performed and one of my personal faves:
