Sara Melson is an original, an artist intent on expressing complex feelings with a unique emotional honesty and quietly soulful vocal style. On her self-produced full-length debut, Dirty Mind, due out February 26th on Nettwerk Records, she delivers 12 songs graced by flowing melodies, vigorous grooves, and plainspoken poetry.
Dirty Mind developed slowly over the past few years while Melson held down day jobs as a kids’ music teacher and a yoga instructor. “I didn’t have the luxury of being able to hole up in a studio,” she explains. “This record was made guerrilla style, in fits and starts. It wasn’t a long soak in a bath. More like a cold shower. But it kept the music fresh, because we'd have to go in on off hours and crank out six songs in a night.”

Waterbone - Tibet !!
Producer-musicians Jimmy Waldo and D. Kendall Jones traveled to Kathmandu to record the raw sample material for this trip-hop collage of Nepali singing, street chat, and instrumental performances. Recalling similar experiments like those of Deep Forest, Loop Guru, Transglobal Underground, and others, Waterbone's mosaic is pieced together over surging dance beats, albeit with more breath than straight house or techno grooves, and processed through shiny reverbs and cloudburst echoes. The cool "Eastern Girl" fits Tibetan bells into a Tangerine Dream-style rhythm pattern, while "Tantra" undulates to Nepali monk group chants, Euro-pop synthesizer melodies, and the charming voice of Lobsang, a Kathmandu girl, whose quarter-tone inflections soar over Waterbone's relentless house beat. Ethno-techno with a tuneful flair.
