Five stars ***** "Like a warm bath running over your body, that is how I hear this music. Comforting, soothing, relaxing yet all the while intoxicatingly thought provoking!" Reviewer: Brian Cymbaluk
Beautifully atmospheric and sensually rich in aural colour!
LA based Hecate's Angels have an arty, futuristic cabaret sound, based around the creative vision of musician Pietra Wexstun (responsible for vocals, keyboards, autoharp and dulcimer, with songwriting and production throughout) and augmented by instrumentation including wind, strings, guitar, and diverse percussion. You'll see strange mythic pictures in your mind, go back in time, speak in tongues and then wonder who slipped that great micky in your hi-ball glass.
THE CHORD
-----------------------------------
More from vocalist/composer Pietra Wexstun and her band of underground explorers. Trip on down the bayou or float along in space. The miracle and magic of music with no boundaries. Vintage synths and theremins combined with dulcimers and washboards. Decadent waltzes and heavenly hymns. Cuban cha-chas and bongo-driven jazz. Eerie echoes and hepcat cool rising to a flaming intensity. Howling horns, screaming saxes, pounding pianos Emotional,evocative. Hot/cold... light/dark..the marriage of heaven and hell...madly inspired ...divinely insane...someone stop me before I hurt myself! Ophelia meets Lady MacBeth at a cocktail party in space.
