Jazzclub Live: Lea W. Frey & Band "Plateaus
TIP
"Lea W. Frey's music has a high addictive potential" writes the Süddeutsche, and Jazz thing packs another punch (with double negative!): "Live, you have no chance not to be absorbed by this magical sound universe." After idiosyncratic interpretations of Kate Bush, Joy Division and others, the Berlin four-octave singer has now recorded her new album of original songs, released on Yellowbird/Enja, recorded with an illustrious round of the capital's scene: Liz Kosack from New York on synthesizer, Andi Haberl (The Notwist) on drums and drum machine, and the brothers Bernhard (bass) and Peter Meyer (guitar, both Melt Trio). Exactly in this line-up the quintet comes to the Telegraph. Versatile soundscapes and a voice that lends grace and breadth to the pieces emerge in Lea W. Frey's self-composed songs about gentrification, climate change and love. For friends of Sigur Rós and Björk, of jazz, noise-pop, krautrock and electronics.
Lea W. Frey (voc), Liz Kosack (synth), Peter Meyer (g), Bernhard (b), Andi Haberl (dr)
