about

THE ADORABLES is led by harpist/composer Zeena Parkins with percussionist Shayna Dunkelman and Preshish Moments on electronics. Zeena has been harpist with Bjork, Skeleton Crew, and an original stalwart of the Downtown NY scene. THE ADORABLES mixes lush acoustic orchestration with live electronics, beats, and unusual instruments. Visceral, unearthly, exquisitely rich sounds mix with drones, crafted sound processing, feedback and the guts of harp strings. Guest appearances by Deep Singh and Dave Sharma - percussion, Kristin Slipp - vocals, and Danny Blume - guitar.

This record has such a magical flow to it, it seems to capture so directly the ups and downs of life, the joy of music and dance, and it's just so damn catchy and fun to listen to as well. Giles

Artlessly Falling
by Mary Halvorson's Code Girl

supported by 4 fans who also own “Zeena Parkins and The Adorables”

Mary Halvorson is a genius composer and guitarist who has developed her own musical language, and with Code Girl she has incorporated poetry into that language. Incredible compositions and lyricism (each track is a different kind of poem). Halvorson's playing is as great as usual, and all the other members of the band sound great. Robert Wyatt's singing in particular works extremely well in the tracks he's featured. Highly, highly recommend. rat
