Synopsis

Album Description

Midnight roams. Dirty cities. Insomniac maniacs. Street vendor roses. Corner dwellers. Secret passageways. Glory. Heroes in stereo. Shanty towns. Night trains. Real eyes. Half wishes. This is Atlanta-based singer/songwriter Faith Kleppinger?s debut solo album, "Asleep In The Well" -- a stripped-down, woozy, late-night drift through softly-sung stories. Unique lyrical observances and a dreamy sense of melody are the pillars of Kleppinger?s songwriting. "Asleep In The Well" is a portrait of this talent loose and in the raw. Enjoy.

CD Reviews

Songwriting at its Finest

05/17/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you like great music dreamy with a soft spoken delivery, this CD is for you. These stark songs all have their own unique beauty - especially City 3, Frames, and Runaround. This isn't folk music, but real songs played and displayed on an intimate level. Excellent debut!"

"Faith Kleppinger originally began her career as part of the seminal Atlanta-based roots-pop band, Little Bobby Taylors, but is finally releasing her atmospheric solo debut, Asleep In The Well. Kleppinger has some big expectations to live up to, as she's a current three-year vet of the CMJ New Music Marathon. Vocally reminiscent of Kristin Hersh without the throatiness and Courtney Love without the alcohol addiction, her singing is fragile and unsure of herself. One of the aspects, which will make Kleppinger stand out amongst her peers, are her observant imagistic lyrics which fuel the haunting (and perhaps Italo Calvino inspired) "City Three," and "Double Negative." Contributing to the disc are former Sugar-member David Barbe, and Blake Rainey who duets with Kleppinger on "Double Negative" and "Howlaround." Though Kleppinger might've fell asleep in the well with her latest album, it's evident she has enough talent and determination to claw her way out."
