About Me |
|
Called the "best-named singer in rock" by Alternative Press magazine, Zera Marvel - former front-woman of the band Tagging Satellites, ventures out on her own. It's hard, if not impossible, to avoid the early Neko Case comparisons. There's a kind of sullen country vibe that resembles Seattle's favorite red-headed export. Marvel doesn't have Case's over-the-top pipes, but she's better at atmospherics: Her songs are tiny, sad stories, beautifully told with an aching heart. If you can listen to Marvel and not get that genuinely sad, old-school country-music hurt in your gut, there's something wrong with you. - Paul Constant, The Stranger She doesn't so much "go country" as she does wander down dusty back roads seeing where the stories in her head lead her. The end result is a country-tinged noir pop, the tales of a woman too world-wise to be the ingenue and too hopeful and modest to be the diva. - sepiachord.com Why we love her: Her acoustic country is perfect back porch listening. - Seattle Magazine Zera Marvel has finished her first solo album titled, "Birds & Bullets Fly". The recording features her enchanting, sometimes low timbered, dusky voice audiences have come to love so much from her Tagging Satellite days. - Radio Free Seattle Zera Marvel's vocals are dreamy but she also rears back with a vindictive gnarl when necessary. With one word, she is capable of honesty to the brutal degree like Nico employed so deftly years ago. - cosmik.com Zera Marvel. She’s drifting acoustic and dark. There are gothic turns in her stoic stance and she shades country into night. - Trent Moorman, The Stranger Then there's Marvel's voice, elusive as Hope Sandoval's but possessing some of Kendra Smith's wearied mystique. - The Oregonian "Birds And Bullets Fly" is available on cdbaby.com - click on the link below to buy the CD or MP3s through CD Baby: I recently set up a secure Paypal account for those of you that would like to purchase a copy of "Birds And Bullets Fly" directly from me.
