Release Notes:
One might call quitting a lucrative job as a software engineer for
a life as a singer-songwriter a risky career move. Fortunately for
Vienna Teng, it has paid off. Within two years of leaving her
Silicon Valley career behind, 27-year-old Teng has appeared on the
CBS Early Show, Late Night with David Letterman, and NPR, and has
gained a large devoted fanbase through constant touring, selling
60,000 copies of her first two albums. Vienna Teng reaches a new
musical pinnacle on her third album, and debut for Zoδ/Rounder,
'Dreaming Through the Noise.' Producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell,
Madeleine Peyroux) provides Teng with the perfect setting for an
unforgettable set of chamber-folk compositions, which showcase her
sharp lyrical prowess as well as her skills as an accomplished
pianist. The album's eleven original songs show both an amazing
lyrical depth and a broad musical scope, which ranges from the
perfect pop simplicity of "Whatever You Want" to the stunning
musical tour de force of "Ponchartrain." Clearly her most
ambitious work to date, 'Dreaming Through the Noise' confirms
Vienna Teng as a brilliant young songwriter at the top of her
craft.
