Ami Saraiya: Archaeologist. Folksy, catchy, old-timey feel. A throwback to the days of bars featuring “Big Bands,” except this is a one-woman show. FCC on track 7. Try 2, 6, 10. 1) Glockenspiel and strumming bass. 2) Strikingly emotional vocals, and head-nodding drums. 3) The title track features swooning vocals and a slow-moving melody. 4) Methodical melody twists in this strings-heavy song. 5) Gypsy-sounding accordion instrumentals, gaining in frenzy over time. 6) Soulful, almost blues-y. Quite intense towards the end. 7) FCC Calm, almost country-sounding guitar and piano. 8) Foreign language, quite gypsy-sounding. 9) A mournful ballad, with quivering violins. 10) A lyrical, deliberate piece. Beware, the final 30 seconds is silence. 11) Ami layers her own vocals, with acoustic guitar. Kyle Vandenberg | ||
