Regina Spektor – “far”
Spektor’s new album (released on 23/6/09) is a triumph of sonic landscapes. Her voice has never sounded stronger, and the layout of the songs reads like a novel. This venture into baroque pop is nothing new for the current New Yorker, but on this record it sounds more polished and positively produced – as in something you would get from a early Rufus Wainwright album. Bottom line is, Spektor has given us her all, and that includes radio friendly pop hits, off-the-wall oddities, and everything inbetween. -kk
