Tucked away in some seedy nightclub would be the avant garde vocal jazz group led by K.Page and her glorious spectacle of a voice. The group masterfully weaves carpeted improv jazz with circuitry bent on experimental music.... ( see sight for more. We are the Editor's Pick! )
To me, K. Page and Sleepwalker’s Parade can be compared to a fusion of Imogen Heap, Bjork, and Canada’s own Leslie Feist.
This album is well composed, from K. Page’s vocals to the smooth instrumentals. If there is any more room for these kinds of bands in the industry, I really hope this one becomes the next big thing. I see a lot of potential in these guys with their first album. This is a whole new mood.
Through a thick fog of smoke in a musty NYC dive, you’ll find K. Page and the Sleepwalker’s Parade wailing neo-beatnik verse over swinging guitar, bass, and drums. At least, that’s the image Green City evokes.
The album shines in its reshaping of Patti Smith-style poetics: Green City blends experimental jazz, rock, and classical influences behind Page’s sometimes sweet, sometimes dark, but always passionate, crooning.
Ms. Page's Brooklyn group promises a break from robotic indie rock. Page's exictable banshee vocals, part Peggy Lee and part The Nun's Jennifer Miro, are provocative and the backup music is an amalgam of classic and avant garde jazz, art new music, and rock...individualistic and unusual.
K. Page and Sleepwalker's Parade's Green City is an album that you might imagine would be worn out on an iPod alongside those of Billie Holiday or Johnny Cash, dare I say, Le Tigre? K. Page's sooty vocals smolder beside subdued electric riffs and a calculated beat...It's easy to imagine yourself sitting in a garage inches away from the drummer. ..it has that sound that seems almost "imperfect," which ironically makes it a success.
She has a haunting voice that seems simultaneously fragile and menacing...you can’t help being ensnared because Page’s voice lures you like a siren... I would suggest giving them a serious listen: repeatedly.
...a very ambitious album. It flits playfully between jazz and more rocky moments, Page's vocals can be sweet or other worldy...
K.Page and Sleepwalker's Parade is an interesting band, if not for the diverse array of styles that they incorporate into their music , but for how right the music sounds all put together.
Kristin’s classically trained vocals shape most of the songs but the 6 piece band is not short of making her voice shine through.
" Stuart weaves and eerie vocalise"
"like Bjork meets Nina Simone"
" canary, Stuart breathes well crafted lines"
