New York City harpist, singer-songwriter, and composer Stephanie Babirak pulls Moon River into darker territory, reshaping the classic with harp, mellotron, layered vocals, and guitar. The track leads into Rotten Fruit, an album shaped by biblical imagery, disillusionment, and the gap between words and actions. Written with Peter Scoma and produced by Josh Benash, it looks at the clarity that arrives when patterns finally show.For FM PRO Quickfire 5, Babirak talks nostalgia, darkness, creative shorthand, and cinematic harp-pop.I’m kind of fascinated by gaslighting and how disorienting it can be to be put in that position. It’s amazing to me, the…

A banjo-helmed ecological concept album.Those of a nervous disposition may wish to steel themselves in advance of this review, in that it contains several references to the “B” word; that’s “banjo” to you and me. The album’s central figure, Benny Bleu, has spent a decade working as a geologist, and that, based around his musical skills, forms the ecological inspiration of the album.The title track, When I am a fossil, is the first stratified musical layer and comes over as a swamp-pop shuffle, as if sung by a James Taylor soundalike. Despite the expectation of banjo, this one is more…
Well, what can I say; joyous! Have you ever seen a band having more sheer fun on stage? Ry Cooder recorded Little Sister for his Bop Till You Drop album released in 1979, and demonstrates his infallible knack for breathing new life and new arrangements into familiar songs from the 1920’s to 1960’s, in this case a song best known for its version by Elvis Presley. Presley’s version is a straightforward rock’n’roll number, but Cooder’s version swings too; just listen to the interplay between Jim Keltner on drums, Chris Etheridge on bass and Baboo on percussion. Then, front and centre…
