Theresa Andersson - Birds Fly Away
Raised in Sweden but based in New Orleans for over a decade, Theresa Andersson mines her sonic roots of both homes on her gorgeous album Hummingbird, Go! (Basin Street Records), an intriguing blend of breezy, 60s-era pop combined with soul, gospel and Motown that features guest appearances by fellow Scandanavian Ane Brun and legendary New Orleans producer and composer Allen Toussaint.
Released to critical acclaim this past September (see press quotes below), Hummingbird, Go! has sparked interest among music programmers, the media and other tastemakers around the country. Even more impressive is her multi-instrumental one-woman live show, which almost always end with standing ovations from the audience, as was the case on her recent tour with Ane Brun and Tobias Froberg.

The Homesexuals - Slow Guns
If it happened, The Homosexuals did it first. Or better. Or both. The sneering energy of The Sex Pistols? Check. The taught dance-ability of Gang of Four? That too. The artistic heart of the Clash, the off-kilter charm of the Modern Lovers? In spades. Between the years of 1978 and 1984, bandleader Bruno Wizard, guitarist Anton Heyman, bassist Jim Welton, and a laundry list of drummers generally gave less than a fuck about what anyone thought of their little band. They performed irregularly. Released self-pressed music sporadically, and flew mostly below the radar. But in a testament to the power of quality music, through the years in which they lay dormant, The Homosexuals’ stature grew, and the aid of hindsight slowly turned them into a critical darling. So with the music community in his corner, and a swath of new fans singing along, Wizard returns, assembling a fresh set of NYC musicians to back him in the states as the Homosexuals and support a slab of new music: the Slow Guns EP, a 10” record out now on Serious Business.
