Saint Bernadette

Recién descubiertos por la que escribe, gracias a un email con novedades de music.download.com . Pero por lo que veo, el resto de blogs, ya hablaron de ellos hace meses.

Saint Bernadette es el grupo de la cantante norteamericana Meredith DiMenna y de su marido Keith Saunders (para los amantes de las anécdotas, Ashford & Simpson les cantaron su célebre Solid en la ceremonia). Con cierta experiencia musical en otras bandas y proyectos, editan ahora In The Ballroom, su primer álbum, grabado en una maratoniana sesión en vivo de tres días. El lugar de la grabación fue un viejo salón del viejo Bijou Theatre en Bridgeport, Connecticut. El resultado, canciones inspiradas en los discos de Motown y de los primeros años de Atlantic Records. I Own The City es uno de sus temas.

Editor's review
Everything you'll savor about "In the Bedroom" is implied in the classic Bijou Theatre neon sign on its cover. We'd like to believe such a smashingly retro spot could only produce a warm and soulful indie pop, and sure enough, the debut is a feast of glowing guitar and smoky vocals.

Biography

In The Ballroom , Saint Bernadette’s debut album, has already received much praise from the press -- not only for the gorgeous pipes of singer Meredith DiMenna, but also for the unique sound of the record which was recorded live in the abandoned ballroom of Bridgeport, Connecticut’s Bijou Theatre (pictured on the album’s cover). The marathon three-day recording session was documented on video as well, and that footage makes up the new clip for one of the album’s stunning tracks “Pieces”.

Those who have seen Saint Bernadette’s live show often marvel at just how heavy its live sound can be, especially when DiMenna channels her inner Janis Joplin via a whiskey or four. This sound is documented on a new EP that will compliment In The Ballroom. The disc, I Wanna Tell You Something, is set for release in early 2008.

As if she weren’t making enough work for herself, DiMenna is also teaming up with singer Brian Grosz as The Priestess and The Fool. Upon hearing the title cut from the soundtrack of the 1982 Francis Ford Coppola film One From The Heart, an epic duet between Tom Waits and Crystal Gayle, DiMenna and Grosz began to envision retooling the song as a vanity project to keep their hands moving and their chops up. Within a short period of time, however, the two found themselves searching for more classic duets to re-invent -- and thereby their six-song EP, A Minor Work was born.

Slated for a January 2008 release, and available as a limited-time free download on their website, A Minor Work spans the rough riffage that we’ve come to expect from Grosz and the trademark, 60’s-inspired soul of DiMenna. We also hear the duo launch themselves into the realms of lazy country and western, a haunting beatnik dirge, “Wall Of Sound”-era pop and even a choral eulogy accompanied by a church organist.
