52 Weeks of Music And Lunch, Week 16: Zoe Keating's Into the Trees

Food

Leftover steak, grilled zucchini and mushrooms with bread. Mmm, meat! Lizard has been on a grilling kick lately (with our indoor electric grill). I am happy to continue to enjoy the results.

Music

Album: Zoe Keating's Into The Trees

Genre: Neo-Classical?

Similar Bands: Attrition are occasionally vaguely similar.

Review: Something not Industrial! There aren't even any drums! I loved Keatings first album, and I love this one. I kept catching myself drumming my fingers and tapping my toes to recollections of this album in the past week, even when I wasn't listening to it. The album includes a live track - it's a credit to Keating that I couldn't tell which one without looking at the track listing.

For those who aren't familiar with Zoe's work, she plays cello, with live looping, so she's able to essentially replicate the effect of having several cellists playing simultaneously, by herself, live. It's gorgeous, haunting, beautiful music.

Playlist Potential: Possible candidates for meditation, driving mixes and bedtime.

I'd like to hear that. Can you play it for me sometime soon, please?
