Synopsis

Album Description
Here's what legendary British rock critic Nick Kent (The Dark Stuff) said about it in Liberacion, the major liberal daily of France: "How is it possible that this talented duo from New York with three splendid records to their name (Dreams... is the fourth) is still only known to a small 'cult' audience? In England, similar duos such as Portishead and Goldfrapp have won the support of a wider audience with the same qualities (film-noir type soundtrack music and the capable vocalizing of an unconstrained diva) as the two protagonists of Elysian Fields (instrumentalist/composer Oren Bloedow and singer Jennifer Charles) have employed for eight years now. Then again, maybe we have their out-of-the-mainstreamness to thank for a sound that is still unique -- as sensual as a sleepwalker's wet dream. as the album title suggests, the 13 songs assembled here evoke the many langorous musical dreamscapes traversed by the enchanting, and infinitely erotic, Jennifer Charles. Equally remarkable is the manner in which Bloedow envelops the veiled vocals of Charles in a jewelbox of ethereal sounds on such highlights as 'Live For The Touch,' 'Shooting Stars' and 'Narcomiscoma.' In other words, this new record, just like all of its predecessors, comes heartily recommended."

Sublime, so ignore the slime

(5 out of 5 stars)

"some people are so sick. i can't believe people are weighing in on her looks. this is about music people! charles and bloedow are amazing composers. the music is divine and pure and it is moody and it even rocks at times. the lyrics are moving, and these people who are saying this is parody are parodies themselves. they are clueless, as they can only see jennifer as a sex object. it's a pity because they are missing the boat. can't women be powerful and sexy and smart without threatening the pathetic creepy boys of this world? beautiful vocals too, lest we forget she's an AMAZING singer! And frankly, I find that the poduction values have improved over the years, less gloss, and more real muscle."
