Crystal Bright & the Silver Hands - The Absolute Elsewhere CD
"If you are a fan of Kate Bush, Dresden Dolls, Beirut, Tom Waits, Siouxsie & the Banshees, the Decemberists, Danny Elfman/Tim Burton or Yann Tiersen and enjoy exotic instruments like musical saws, concertina and accordions, this is the perfect album for you. Bright has an eclectic, haunting but yet whimsical, carnivalesque world folk sound, dubbed "kaleidophrenic cabaret." She plays accordion, musical saw, concertina, piano, Taiko drum, adungu (Ugandan harp), and various others, leaving people captivated with her operatic and soulful vocals and virtuosic command of her exotic instruments. Her voice soars as the instrumentation and lyrics take you to worlds beyond the norm. She is just plain fun to listen to, and stands out as an artist with a true artistic voice." - AXS.com
"Wildly eclectic, engaging and creative, the new album from Crystal Bright and the Silver Hands takes inspiration from myriad sources for a rather cinematic listening experience. From the gypsy funeral procession atmosphere of opener "The End" to the Latin-flavored "Bajando La Luna" and the wounded "Torment," there's no shortage of twists and turns across the album's 13 tracks." - Allmusic.com
