Tel Aviv-ians Windy & Destiny have a lovely CD album out on Earsay records of Israel village. 'Words for Such a Riot' is atmospheric & other worldly lo-fi guitar pop that sounds like it's ben recorded using old Valve Equipment. The vocalist Michel has a beautiful yearning voice that covers the shambling, off -kilter guitars, wheezing wurlitzer organ & muffled velvets-ey drums with a kinda Hope Sandoval/Nancy Sinatra honeyed tinge, at once kitten soft & powerful. It's really one of the most endearing & natural albums i've heard from Israel. With it's feet set in the 50s/60's but the overall vibe utterly timeless & organic i can recommend this heartily to fans of Mazzy star, The Flaming Stars & Holly Golightly/Headcoatees. Also see the vastly underrated Fabienne Delsol & The Bristols. Lovely, lovely, lovely! (Bargain priced too!)This debuted album by windy & destiny is the newest release from Earsay records an album which created by a gather of talent, faith and love.
W& D's music is characterized with Lo- Fi sound accompanied by warm, enchanted female singing, The overall atmosphere is rhythmic and relaxing, whimsical, a little shoegaze flavored, powerful and dark, sexual, childish, simultaneously Contradicting and contradicted, all at once. The melodies are soft and catchy, reminder for periods of naivety. Just like a charmed and magical soundtrack fore sweet or classic movie
...according to Danielle.
This is truly a beautiful album. The perfect album for those quiet reflective moments, some songs have a dark and melancholy feel, others are upbeat and positive. Well crafted beautiful songs, sung by sultry, enchanting, and emotional voice.
