release notes:
Chinawoman's third album moves towards the cinematic and
confessional, centering on the themes of time and
inevitability . "Let's Part in Style" aggrandizes the moment
in light of its fate, and asks how to keep things fresh - to
trick the seasons, to allow time and decay to have their way
but to do so in style.
The spectrum of sound is familiar from her first two albums
- from post-punk minimalism to european balladry, suicide
surf to grandiose choruses about melancholy subjects. The
melodrama runs thick in the cinematic "Good Times Don't
Carry Over", and Leo Ferresque "What Was Said" reaches new
levels of dark, even by Chinawoman standards. "To Be With
Others" has a subterranean late-floor vibe, and along with
the smokey "Vacation From Love", Chinawoman's deep and
ever-prominent vocals tackle the subjects of infidelity and
personal space in relationships. Decadent, dramatic and
earnest, vintage keyboards and synth strings offer the
solitary rendition of a grand experience, and the voice
always upfront delivers motifs familiar yet impossible to
pinpoint from the great soup of European chanson. Europop
track "Nothing to Talk About" does best showcasing
Chinawoman's knack for combining the celebratory and
bittersweet, and the hypnotic and dissonant "Let's Part in
Style" closes the album with a final toast before fading to
16mm grain.
Maneuvering between grandiose retro motifs and a surprising
sincerity, Chinawoman's songs are tragicomic, melody-driven,
sentimental and suspended in shadowy glamour. In her music
lies a collective remembrance and a repurposing of
influences, which in turn - expels only itself. Her story
began when her bedroom-produced debut album Party Girl
(2007), by some fateful unknown hand was delivered to the
land of her forefathers, and soon made its way blaring from
the yachts of Russian billionaires and as the ringtones of
mothers all over the Ukraine. Her move from Toronto to
Berlin marked a major turning point, most notably as a live
act, from playing smaller shows in Toronto to regularly
selling out concerts of 400-1000 guests in cities like
Istanbul, Bucharest, Tbilisi, Belgrade, Athens, Vilnius and
Moscow.
The daughter of a Kirov ballerina and an engineer from
Leningrad, Chinawoman grew up listening to her parents'
collection of Soviet and 70's European records. Her music
has drawn comparisons to Nico and Leonard Cohen, Soviet era
singing stars such as early Alla Pugacheva, with a voice
akin to Tanita Tikaram. While her concerts include more live
aspects and a line-up of musicians, she continues to record
and release in the same bedroom manner as her first two
albums - maintaining an intimacy and singleness of
expression: from her bedroom to yours. A genre based partly
on elements of melody and style, but moreso, a signature
fatalist-celebratory approach to songwriting.
