They keep coming on two by two. The Ark is putting together a solid schedule(no surprise!). Here are two more to add to the "must see" list...
Cibelle on September 18th &
Teitur on September 19th (not confirmed).
This is how
Cibelle is described on the Ark website
(if this doesn't grab your attention, I'm worried...)"This Brazilian artist sings in Portuguese and English, and she takes the experimental edge of bossa nova and carries it forward into the 21st century. Like no one else we can think of, Cibelle (see-BELL-ee) makes use of a variety of elements to create unique, imaginative, and enchanting pieces of music. Her new album, "The Shine of Dried Electric Leaves," is a genuine masterpiece, combining rootsy acoustic instrumentation and electronic processing, noise guitars and children's toys, captivating textural soundscapes and pure melodies carried by her unmistakable, moving voice. In person she's unlike anyone else you've ever seen, standing at the microphone one minute and crouching in front a bank of electronic dials the next. Listening to each of the songs on The Shine of Dried Electric Leaves is like hearing a story and exploring a landscape full of surprises, all at once. Cibelle's lyrics and musical ideas are directly derived from her emotional life: she says she likes to use her life as a lab, and claims to be the hamster and the scientist all at once . . ."
Teitur is a folk rock singer songwriter who has a way with words that sets him above many others.
Poetry & Areoplanes, a recent album, is a stellar example of his skills and vocal abilities. He grew up on the Faroe Islands, which are owned by Denmark, but located between Iceland and Scotland. His Danish descent gives his vocals a unique quality.
