Old Life New Shoes - Laka D - F-IRECD68 (2014)
buy now
Old Life, New Shoes is a collection of songs, some densely arranged theatrical pieces, some loose flowing lyrical elegies.The songs tell stories of love, hope, road rage and the passing of time. There are thoughtful tunes such as 'The Sea' with Pete Whyman's bass clarinet in a trio with Laka's piano and voice, and the funk infused guitar of Jennifer Maidman on 'Twist Like A Ribbon'. The title track looks to the future with wry hope.
