Japonize Elephants
Melodie Fantastique
The proudly eclectic Japonize Elephants mix and
match bluegrass and klezmer, the Balkans and Appalachia. Then they move on to
explore the space where Gypsy and Arab melodies converge within the context of
an eccentric rock lineup. Vibraphone and glockenspiel are deployed alongside
hurdy-gurdy, accordion, surf guitar and “junk percussion.” Some of the music
has the eerie whimsy of a score for a film by Marc Caro (City of Lost Children) with its fantastic reordering of everyday
reality.
