Essentially an internet collaboration between three kindred spirits, Elaine DiFalco (voice, piano, keyboards, vibraphone, handclaps, shaker, accordion, qarkabeb, rhythm box, percussion), Cédric Vuille (guitar, e-bow guitar, bass, keyboards, cuatro, clarinet, ukulele, nose flute, percussion, kalimba, theremin, banjolele, flute, spoons, triangle, jew's harp), and Dave Willey (accordion, bass, tambourine, electric and acoustic guitar, surdo, zither, shaker, percussions, mailing tubes). Given the eclectic mix of backgrounds (Thinking Plague, Hamster Theater, Hughscore, Débile Menthol and L'Ensemble Rayé) this is a beautifully balanced album of folk tinged avant instrumental music with latin and jazz flavorings. The overriding feeling of this album is happy and jaunty with Dave's accordion front and center. This was one of my favorite albums of 2012. It should be hunted out by any fans of instrumental upbeat folk flavored music. Mixed and mastered by Udi Koomran. It is available on bandcamp
