Editorial Reviews

The Fleeting Skies is a testament to an artist who is constantly willing to absorb new thoughts and translate them into her own work. Samara Lubelski is what some would call a lifer: a person who is willing to keep on making music, honing her craft because she can’t conceive of not doing it. Take The Fleeting Skies as a kind of travel guide through her aural perambulations over two continents and with the help of a number of her friends. Lubelski is a native New Yorker who grew up in the haze of artist-infested Soho. Over the years, she has compiled an impressive resume that covers myriad genres: the avant/psych/folk outfit Hall Of Fame, bohemian German musos Metabolismus, indie rock interpretations with The Sonora Pine and off-world with Jackie-O Motherfucker, to name just a few. Joining her are two of her old chums from the Tower Recordings (PG Six and Tim Barnes) as well as guitar aficionado Marc Moore, who has had his hand in Cat Power, Lynnfield Pioneers and various other cookie jars. With all of her experience and skill, Lubelski has learned how to create atmospheres of depth within her pieces. You will be looking forward to the return of The Fleeting Skies as it settles into your memory.

This review is from: Fleeting Skies (Audio CD)

Mom told you a thousand times, never judge a book by its cover. The same goes double for albums.

The cover is why I got this: looking, you would think this is a dirged out neo psych band. Anything but. Samara Lubelski deals with lush, pollished accustic folk.

But this is no strummer album. Bossa Nova, candy-gleeming arrangements and full orchestrations rule here lilting, atherial folk. It has shades of Forever Changes and Five Leaves Left. ]

On top of the beauty of the arrangements, Lubelski's writting is top notch, having a jazzy flow. Her melodic instincts are excellent.

Cover is great too. Buy this.
