About The Elephant's Baby
Product Description The Elephant's Baby is indescribably witty, urbane, slick and all around unique. Fader has the proverbial way with words and her imagination is a frightfully bizarre living room full of animal noises, weird lovers, threatening furniture, strange childhood stories, and the occasional romantic holiday. It's all played out as cabaret (she calls her ensemble The Vaudevillains), part New York 1999 and part Berlin 1927. It's a cabaret act that has gone off its meds. It allows for nursery stories with masochistic leanings, simple love songs that catch you off guard, and a subtle sexuality and blatant carnality that are disarmingly sweet and slyly dark... Arranger and conductor Damon Camona has assembled an orchestra of strings, woodwinds, percussion, reeds and brass that harkens back to the Carl Stalling ensembles of Looney Tunes fame. He has them spinning like tops, turning on a dime and a whim...It bubbles, growls, pops, and snaps, evoking merriment and foreboding in equal measure, lush to a fault, edgy to distraction... [Fader and Carmona] seem to have fed each other's strange sensibilities to produce one of the more unique American Recordings I have heard in recent years." Review "A beautifully produced disc...arrangements are musically rich, with cowbells, marimbas and French horns contributing to the album's lush sound." -- Montreal Mirror, November 15, 2001 "A phantasmagorical tweaking of musical traditions that reaches for the stars -- and manages to grab a handful of supernovas." -- Ed Bumgardner, Winston-Salem Journal, 12/15/2000 "Fader is part Dietrich and part dark carnival" -- Indpendent Weekly, July 10th, 2002 "Local Pop Album of the Year: The Elephant's Baby" -- Ed Bumgardner, Winston-Salem Journal, 12/29/2000 "One of the more unique American Recordings I have heard in recent years" -- Dirty Linen "One of the more unique American Recordings I have heard in recent years...indescribably witty,...it's cabaret off it's meds" -- Dirty Linen, June/July, 2002 "Refreshingly Original" -- The Connacht Tribune, Ireland "The Elephant's Baby is a quirky mixture of all the things Fader finds fascinating... smoky-sounding love songs with an edge - a sharp edge." -- Patt Hildebrandt, Triad Style, 1/11/01: If anyone can bring back cabaret, it's Clare Fader -- washingtonpost.com, November 5th, 2001 Lois Clark, the music coordinator for The Real World said Fader's album is a refreshing piece of music. -- The Winston-Salem Journal, November 15th, 2002 About the Artist Born in England and raised in Ireland, singer and composer Clare Fader has a bad case of wanderlust. After a stint as the lead singer of a Hawaiian lounge act (Tiki and The Poi Boys) in Montreal, Canada, Ms. Fader moved south to the United States. Since releasing her debut CD, 'The Elephant's Baby' her edgy world/cabaret sound has been winning praise from music critics and fans of all ages.
