CA Celestial & Bill Wells: 'Somewhere Under A Rainbow' (Wee Black Skelf) Yes you read the title correctly, this isn't some remix of the famous Wizard Of Oz song, but some whispy, fragile and frail sounding female vocals over strummed, picked and gentle guitar refrains. not quite sure who to compare them with; maybe Mazzy Star, Joanna Newsome or Beach House. Most intriguing.Cari Anderson's C.A.Celestial is a completely isolated kind of northern music. It's the exact sound of getting lost on an unmarked country path for hours then arriving at a hopeful looking cottage with a reddish light. She's from Airdrie. How can this be? She was once in International Airport and has a beautiful voice and a winning smile; she plays slightly wonky slo-mo harp and on her debut single, for Wee Black Skelf, collaborates with Bill Wells. As one-off as Anne Briggs or Brigitte Fontaine or Nico; all hail Cari! -Stephen Pastel
