Singer / songwriter / violinist / actress extraordinaire Eszter Balint is releasing her long-overdue fourth album, I HATE MEMORY! The album was recorded by Andy Taub at Brooklyn Recording with additional recording by Kato Hideki and Bryce Goggin at Trout Recording, produced by Balint and Hideki. I HATE MEMORY! will be available as a digital download and via streaming services November 18 on Red Herring Records.
I HATE MEMORY! is a set of songs tracing Eszter’s journey from communist Hungary to ’70s-80s NYC by way of her parents’ radical theater group and winding its way through a Lower Manhattan mofongo of glamour, poverty, sex, drugs, darkness and yes, light. The songs were co-written by Balint and Stew (Stew & The Negro Problem, Passing Strange) and the lyrics dig fearlessly into oppression, freedom, the possibilities in chaos, the dreams and lost dreams of America, and the battles with memory when you are most invested in the now.These songs became the basis for an “anti-musical,” a theatrical production with songs based on an original concept by her and Stew. The anti-musical is being developed via an ongoing series of shows staged at Manhattan’s famed Joe’s Pub. Balint says I HATE MEMORY! is an impressionistic travelogue with appearances by Family, Film, Fame, Immigration, Joy, Theater, Shame, Dance Floors, Open Doors, Papaya Ice Cream and The Shah of Iran’s Wife. (Note: the Shah of Iran’s wife is a crucial part of the live show but this spoken word piece did not fit the arc of the album.)
