The idea is that these are cojoined singing/uke strumming twins named Evelyn & Evelyn Neville +1. gentle ¾ time, led by m&f duet, toy piano & accordion. Lyrics sound like a relationship in turmoil +2. Kurt-weill like, carnival barker song, with current pop-culture & bklyn references. ¾ time 3.spoken over music, deadpan M/F voices (the Evelyn twins speaking to eachother) tells the story of the twins dramatically tragic birth +4.upbeat ragtime, just voices & piano 5.shanty accordion, Eastern-European +6.Another spoken story, in 1991, following the twins from feral kids on a chicken farm to exploited kidnapees to sideshow performers 7.lament/dirge for their adolescent friend. ¾ time old piano & m/f duet, strings join later. 2nd half has great accordion/French quai section. +8.jaunty, goofy ode to elephants, a kid’s song. Junkyard band. +9.Folk song of unavoidable sibling rivalry/murder 10.Story, twins from age 19-21 escape the circus and become internet sensations 11.schmaltzy sweeping synth & drum machine, relieved/triumphant +12. Uke cover of Joy Division classic, forlorn duet. | ||
