Description

Thalia Zedek has one of the most enduring and distinctive voices in modern rock music a voice like no other that can be heard in her work with some of the most groundbreaking underground bands, from Uzi and Live Skull to Come.

Since 2001, Zedek has been making music under her own name, releasing a string of critically acclaimed albums. Her latest, Eve, is her most accomplished album to date, building upon the foundations of her previous releases. Again the album features her bluesy, gritty guitar work and her distinctive vocals that, when juxtaposed with graceful viola and piano, give the songs a compelling tension. ? Eve was recorded and mixed by Andy Hong at Kimchee Studio.

For this record, Zedeks band is made up of talented and trusted musicians David Michael Curry (viola) and Mel Lederman (piano), who have worked with Zedek since 2001s Been Here And Gone, Winston Braman (bass) played on 2008s Liars And Prayers and newest member Jonathan Ulman is back on drums for his second recording with the band.

Thirty years in, Zedek is as active as she has ever been. She started the new rock band E with Jason Sidney Sanford (Neptune) and Gavin McCarthy (Karate). She continues to tour with the Thalia Zedek Band and has done more than a few Come reunion shows. ? On Eve we find the results of a creative thinker whose life experiences are laid bare and whose mesmeric voice and startlingly honest songwriting deliver a singular emotional punch. Eve should cement Zedeks place among alternative rocks greatest practitioners.

The Thalia Zedek Band will be touring the US after the albums release, and heading to Europe in the Autumn.
