About This Item
Sarah Maria Sun's InchKiller InstinctsInch is an incredibly creative and colorful collection of songs about bad people doing bad things. Perhaps no longer InchhipInch thing to do, it is a concept album - pleasurable journey in bad people's shoes. To assemble the collection, Sarah brought together songs from a wide range of genres - classical art song and melodrama, opera, Broadway, movie soundtracks, and classic rock and pop. How can this work? In these songs, Sarah inhabits a wide range of characters, at the same displaying her amazing abilities in disparate styles. The arrangements, by Max Renne and Sarah, are as clever as the repertoire. Bernstein's virtuoso InchGlitter and Be GayInch arranged for an ensemble of banjos and guitar, and his InchThere's a Law About MenInch sung to an electronic background of the orchestral accompaniment chopped and minced with filters. Joe Walsh's rock classic InchLife's Been GoodInch sung accompanied by just bass guitar. Tom Waits' InchJust the Right BulletsInch in a wild west meets surf music arrangement. Others are sung basically straight the Schubert melodrama InchAbschied von der ErdeInch and the first recording of Stefan Wolpe's harrowing InchHitler.Inch And on and on. Keep an open mind and enjoy the ride!
