SAMARA LUBELSKI

Samara Lubelski has long been a core figure in the so-called New Weird America, featuring in the seminal works of The Tower Recordings, Hall Of Fame, MV&EE and more, as well as releasing 5 albums of her own and playing in Thurston Moore's band. For this date, Samara reaches towards her most experimental recordings like 'In the valley' with a set for violin and electronics that brings to mind Takehisa Kosugi's 'Catch Wave' and the liminal transcendence of Tony Conrad. A record is forthcoming on Ultra Eczema.





"It's nearly impossible not to be ensorcelled by Samara Lubelski's mystical voice. She possesses that rare human instrument that is both otherworldly, and warm and familiar, easily seducing the listener after only a few seconds. Had she been born decades earlier, she most likely would have been musical comrades with sixties chanteuses like Francoise Hardy, Joyce, Brigitte Fontaine, Jane Birkin, etc. Future Slip finds her in top form with lush instrumentation creating the most perfect daydream backdrop for her beautiful vocal delivery. With Thurston Moore in the producer's chair (returning the favor for all the great playing Samara did on his solo outing Trees Outside The Academy). And it's really important to note that Samara isn't just a lady with a gorgeous voice, she's also such an accomplished musician with a wonderful knack for smart and sizzling song construction. A lot of Future Slip brings us to those more mellow Stereolab moments or when Latetitia Sadier records as Monade. Lubelski also finds kindred spirits in folks like Juana Molina and we have a feeling that Charlotte Gainsbourg's new album in the works with Beck writing and arranging could become the perfect companion piece for this record. Future Slip sways and swirls with such ease and lingers with such a nice soft psychedelic shimmer." (Aquarius)

THURSTON MOORE / guitar

Thurston Moore needs little introduction - an inventive and instantly recognisable guitarist both in his solo work and as a member of Sonic Youth, Thurston has also been a long running participant in and champion of much of the music that we hold dear at Cafe OTO.
