Clare Fader and the Vaudevillians
Just discovered the music of Clare Fader and the Vaudevillians. I love the description of this album:
The Elephant’s Baby is indescribably witty, urbane, slick and all around unique. Fader has the proverbial way with words and her imagination is a frightfully bizarre living room full of animal noises, weird lovers, threatening furniture, strange childhood stories, and the occasional romantic holiday. It’s all played out as cabaret (she calls her ensemble The Vaudevillains), part New York 1999 and part Berlin 1927. It’s a cabaret act that has gone off its meds.
