EVRIPIDIS AND HIS TRAGEDIES (2007)

Barcelona, Spain-based Evripidis (Sabatis) and his group of largely female back-up singers have an interesting CD of piano-based art rock, theatrical songs embellished with the occasional do wop and Beach Boyish harmonies.  Included is the allegorical Antarctica.  Sample lyrics: “Ice Ice Ice Ice Ice Ice Ice, millions of years old, and all around an ocean full of life, krill and fish and penguins and seabirds and seals and whales, So much life around a cold empty heart.  Don’t try to heat me up baby, it’s dangerous, the atmosphere is getting warmer, the ice melts, an iceblock was parted from the icecap and collapsed, and 10,000 penguins met death, in the cold water.  Venice is drowning! soon Holland will be under waves, and what will come next.  I’ve been sleeping a cold sleep for about a billion years, I’ve been calm and alone for about a billion years, I’ve been without dreams for about a billion years, now what will come next if you keep heating me up like this, with your love?” Touchmerecords TMR 01; www.myspace.com/evripidisandhistragedies
