Becca Stevens Band - Weightless

Becca Stevens Band - Second album of intelligent, inventive and intricately arranged folk/pop featuring quirky jazz time signatures and Stevens' confectionary vocals...Comfortable coloring outside the lines, Stevens was lead vocalist in New York's 18-piece jazz Bjorkestra interpreting music from you-know-who // Release: Weightless (Just out, Sunnyside) // Quote: "...here was not only that big voice and no-bullshit emotional delivery but also some impressive fretwork, as she finger-picked tricky rhythmic patterns against her vocal line..." - Boston Phoenix // Sounds like: multi-layered harmonies, as unpredictable as they are elegant, scatter above instrumental backing that's a mash-up of Appalachian folk, Euro-gypsy embellishments, distinctive art/pop and modern madrigal flights of vocal fancy // What we like: the warm, undulating pulse of The Smiths cover "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"...the darting melody, tumbling rhythms and sweet climax of the title track...
