(Ethereal) Jaggery - Дискография (6 релизов|2004-2011) [MP3 (tracks), 320 kbps]

“Jaggery audiences go silent and still like people appreciating raw, scary, beautiful wildlife.” That observation was made by web magazine, Cambridge Day, in reaction to the Boston-based five-piece, who work the dark edge of a genre-defying musical style (darkwave jazz? ethereal avant-rock? chamber art pop?) Fronted by songstress Singer Mali ~ an “opera-house stray” whose training in the expressive arts discipline Voice Movement Therapy is evident in her global-sized voice ~ the band suggests a classical, organic, avant-jazz-oriented Cocteau Twins or a “white witch” counter to the haunting Diamanda Galas. Singer Mali’s uncanny vocal range and theatricality regulalry leaves listeners viscerally stunned, and with goosebumps. Mali is flanked by a rotating lineup of musicians and instrumentation including Daniel Schubmehl’s West African and jazz approach to the drum kit, Tony Leva’s gritty, often prepared upright bass, Rachel Jayson’s avant-classical viola, and Petaluma Vale’s glistening Celtic harp and backing vocals. This “exotic musical mobile” evokes what Alice Coltrane’s ‘Journey in Satchidananda’ might sound like with Bjork or Grace Slick singing over the top of it. The band’s repertoire bridges the delicate and explosive ~ from haunting lullabies to furious, mixed-meter rants; tightly-woven compositions in odd time signatures to catharsis-inducing, barn-burning mini-epics (oft-times within the same song). Jaggery (the word comes from the dark brown, Indian sugar) has toured up and down the east coast, and has released three recordings: the 2004 In Lethe EP, the 2006 full-length Polyhymnia; and 2010’s Upon A Penumbra. The Private Violence EP is to be released in November ’12. Jaggery’s first music video (‘O Scorpio’) won their director “Most Promising New England Filmmaker 2009” at the Boston Underground Film Festival. Their second (‘Sea of Sideways’) was featured at BUFF 2011.
