Carl Cleves & Parissa Bouas - Out Of Australia (2010) [SACD]

Their new album on Stockfisch is called "Out of Australia"; while these three words certainly bear no small resemblance to the famous "Out of Africa", you don't have to be exactly a linguist to deduce that "Out of" is the trademark of an intensely emotional liaison with a country. The truth of this becomes more evident as each track of this CD unfolds.
Parissa's angelic voice comes close to an invitation; that is, one from water nymphs and ancient dwellers of the woods of mythology. Carl's warm voice and his guitar-playing make sure that the angels stay in safe contact with Celtic folk tradition. Dreamweavers the two are truly – sundancers keeping in safe distance from the abyss. Listener, when thou comest to Folk music, pray say: thou hast heard us singing as our native country bade us to sing.
