Samara Lubelski - The Fleeting Skies
This song is from Samara's forthcoming 'Fleeting Skies' LP on Social Registry (out in October, maybe the 5th?), and was also the first track on the 'They Keep Me Smiling' compilation, mentioned below in the Benji Cossa post. 'Fleeting Skies' features some particularly fine singing from Ms. Lubelski, and has a gentle electric guitar tapestry wending through the background. She coos through the track, accompanied by unobtrusive but insistent drumming. Sort of hypnotically gorgeous, I have to say. This is the kind of song you wish could automatically cue up when you step outside into a cold, clear September morning. Also of interest: Samara happens to be the assistant engineer at the Rare Book Room, a Brooklyn recording studio utlilized by everyone from Les Savy Fav to Black Dice. Multi-talented!
Administrative note: I have the Wolf Parade contest up there on the right, finally. It only took about 3 weeks and a stream of steady expletives for me to find a way to keep a text note on the sidebar permanently. So the point of it is that you suggest a new motto for this site ('Who needs $$$ when we got feathers' is from a Simpsons episode, and while it's funny, it's getting old), and I'll pick the winner and then send you the EP, gratis. Not bad, eh, my roxxor friends?
