New Album From Shemspeed...

Sounds interesting. I'm going to wait until it's available on iTunes...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 19, 2010 INDIE FOLK ROCK ALBUM OF MYSTICAL HASIDIC MUSIC AGED IN THE BARRELS OF EASTERN EUROPEAN FOLKLORE Darkcho is an album of mystical Hasidic music, that sounds more like an indie folk rock album with tradition than what you would expect of a religious album. The music is very real, very meditative and very very human. A physical copy of this record is hard to find. As we look at the art we see how mysterious it all is. Hand written lyrics and notes cover the panels, but there is no label, there is no website, there is no way of finding out any more information and to top it all off, when you flip the cover over you read these fascinating words: “These songs collected here belong to the Jewish people. They originate from holiness. They speak of self nullification and redemption, the need for healing and discovering the depths of the Holy One Blessed Be He in this world and the next. We take no recognition for any part of the material, lest the actual performing of the music itself. The recognition was meant for the Holy One Blessed Be He and to the nation that lives by His word.” Shemspeed has taken on this beautiful record in order to ensure that the world hears it, aged in the barrels of Eastern European folklore and steeped in centuries of Jewish musical tradition. The album plays like a Tarantino soundtrack to the deepest, most spiritual moments of life; full of depth and style, antiquity and freshness. iTunes/Amazon Download link will be available on September 7th For more information or to interview the artist, please contact:Erez Safar Shemspeed PR 718.290.5372 erez@shemspeed.com www.shemspeed.com
