EVANS JESSIE - CD IS IT FIRE

Popis - IS IT FIRE:
Jessie's first solo album "IS IT FIRE?" was recorded between Berlin and Mexico, and feat. live drums /percussion by Toby Dammit (Iggy Pop, Swans) with guest musicians Budgie (The Creatures, Siouxsie and The Banshees), Martin Wenk (Calexico), and Namosh. Recorded in Berlin by Thomas Stern (Einstürzende Neubauten, Crime and The City Solution) and mixed/ co-produced in Tijuana by Pepe Mogt (Nortec Collective). With the sensual yet chaotic charm of a shipwrecked sailorette dancing in a hurricane, "IS IT FIRE?" ventures into an exotic world of rhythm, reaching from the flesh and beyond to a place where drums conjure up images of latin heroes Perez Prado, Yma Sumac, afro-beat, nu-no wave & a touch of Istanbul, saxophones like a flock of birds guide the traveler through familiar but unknown lands, and trumpets enter like parades of mariachis dancing down on Revolution St. Its a world where you want to reach out to touch the face and arms of strangers, to realize the human form, desire, to be hunted and captured by yr emotion. Jessie spent the past decade playing in bands built from the blood of previous generations in the 70/80s punk rock new wave vein, such as San Francisco's The Vanishing, Autonervous (with Bettina Koster of Malaria!) and the all girl garage goth quartet Subtonix, as well as collaborating with numerous artists like Glass Candy &, Hanin Elias (Atari Teenage Riot).
