Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This album is a collaboration between the 16-year-old Sophie Auster and the One Ring Zero musicians Michael Hearst and Joshua Camp. The lyrics of the songs were written by Sophie herself, by Paul Auster, by some of the great French poets of the twentieth century, and by an anonymous Englishman who lived over five hundred years ago. The first recording session took place in October 2003; the last in June 2004. Now seventeen, Sophie Auster is a high school senior in New York.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Siren for Heart and Mind, September 21, 2005
By Beccan (Florida and Rio) - See all my reviews
If you're the kind of person who feels making a statement, any statement, is an act of unpardonable hubris, then this CD may speak to you. The lyrics will evoke your love for language, literature and philosophy. There are poetic concepts of identity and reality. There is the wisdom that knows it can never be wise. There is love. All this gets enclosed and soothed, feminized and personalized in a hauntingly beautiful teenage voice.

Kindly and cruelly this music will take you inside to that hidden sensitive place where rhyme and reason do not rule. But you need good rhyme and reason to get there. Think of a siren luring you both intellectually and emotionally. Then, if you listen to these songs again and again, strength becomes weakness and weakness becomes strength. And you know you're not alone. It can make an old wise man cry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Stuff, July 19, 2005
Never mind that this girl is Paul Auster's daughter, her voice and themes are enough presentation. CHeck out her site to listen to a sample...
