This is just a quick note to let other Jane Siberry fans out there know
that her new album, "the speckless sky", has finally made it to the
stores here in Canada. It should be available in the US as an import in
the very near future. I'll follow this article with a review of the
album in the next couple of days, once I get it home and listen to it
for a while...
For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, Jane Siberry
is a Canadian singer/songwriter from Toronto whose style I can best
describe as "Joni Mitchel meets Lauri Anderson and Talking Heads". Her
first album sank without a trace, but her second - "No Borders Here" -
won great critical aclaim (here in Canada, at least). It also yielded
several "alternative" radio "hits", including "I muse aloud", "The
Waitress", and "Mimi on the Beach".
She is a strong lyricist and musician, and her music is both
challenging and innovative. I have great hopes for the new album.
