This is the new CD from Niobe Voodooluba.
Niobe is the brainchild of Yvonne Cornelius, and her debut,
Radioersatz, was a mysterious and surreal journey full of
peculiar sounds, colourful arrangements and unusual vocals. In
addition to producing this music, Cornelius also performs all
of the vocal tracks. Her vocals are often filtered, sounding as
if they were recorded usingold or cheap microphones, and the
words are often cryptic and defy easy interpretation, acting
more as textures than as signs.
Her vocal style is built around "tongue sounds"; her voice
wavers and quivers, contributing to an atmosphere of uneasy
enchantment present throughout these songs. The instrumental
arrangements, which open up in broad sweeps, are also inventive
and unpredictable. Surprising sounds interrupt the flow of some
unusual rhythms, synthesized, live or sampled instrumentation.
From the rhythm of some very jolly bass bubbles in the first
track to a mellow acoustic guitar loop in the closing number,
Niobe takes you on a strange and dreamlike voyage with her
unique and inventive sound.
Yvonne Cornelius was born in Frankfurt and has been living in
Cologne since 1994. For over a decade she has developed a
uniquely individual approach to electronic production, as well
as a style of singing ranging from diva-esque acrobatics to
comic excess. Concerts in Mexico City, at Berlin's Volksbuehne
or the Batofar in Paris have already exposed her to an
international audience
