Release Notes:
--------
After a successful release fronting the critically acclaimed indie darlings
Without Gravity, Icelandic ethereal, folk/pop singer-songwriter Kalli [aka Karl
Henry] will step into the limelight with his solo debut While The City Sleeps.
Building on the intimate atmosphere created by his former band, While The City
Sleeps offers soothing harmonies and swirling guitar/piano based melodies on
tracks like "Back Down" all led by Kalli's acclaimed vocals. As simplistic as
the music sounds, the lyrics present a rather complex storyline of love and
longing including "Bridges Burn" and "River of Darkness". The album continues
the tradition of beauty and pain finding a nesting ground in the heart of a
young man.
In some ways, While The City Sleeps can be considered Kalli's sophomore effort
as much of the acclaim for Tenderfoot, the 2005 release from Without Gravity,
was focused on the standout vocals. Bay Area weekly Metro Newspapers noted, "an
emphasis on soothing acoustic songs that bubble over with melodiesàall
highlighted by the ethereal voice of singer Kalli."
